| Description of Business and Basis of Presentation | Description of Business Bionano Genomics, Inc. (collectively, with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company”) is a provider of genome analysis solutions that can enable researchers and clinicians to reveal answers to challenging questions in biology and medicine. The Company offers optical genome mapping (“OGM”) solutions, diagnostic services and software for applications across basic, translational and clinical research, and for other applications including bioprocessing. The Company offers a platform-agnostic software solution, which integrates next-generation sequencing, microarray and OGM data designed to provide analysis, visualization, interpretation and reporting of copy number variants, single-nucleotide variants and absence of heterozygosity across the genome in one consolidated view. The Company also offers nucleic acid extraction and purification solutions using proprietary isotachophoresis (“ITP”) technology. Through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Lineagen Inc. (doing business as Bionano Laboratories), the Company also provides OGM-based diagnostic testing services. Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and include the accounts of the Company’s 100%-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. All dollar amounts and share counts presented below have been rounded to the nearest thousand and, thus are approximate. |

| Liquidity and Going Concern | Liquidity and Going Concern The Company has experienced recurring net losses from operations, negative cash flows from operating activities, and a significant accumulated deficit since its inception and expects to continue to incur net losses into the foreseeable future. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had approximately $3.0 million in cash and cash equivalents, $16.3 million in short-term investments, $10.3 million in restricted cash and short-term investments, and working capital of $22.4 million. The amount the Company is required to hold as restricted cash or investments is equal to the lesser of (a) $11.0 million and (b) the then outstanding principal balance of the Debentures (as defined in Note 9 (Debt) to our consolidated financial statements). As of December 31, 2025 the Company had $10.3 million of principal outstanding under the Debentures (see Note 9 (Debt) to our consolidated financial statements) and an accumulated deficit of $719.6 million. In 2025, the Company used $16.3 million of cash in operations. Management expects operating losses and negative cash flows to continue for at least the next year as the Company continues to incur costs related to product development and commercialization efforts. Management has prepared cash flows forecasts which indicate that based on the Company’s expected operating losses and negative cash flows, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within twelve months after the date that the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, are issued. Management’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to raise additional funding. Management’s plans to raise additional capital to fulfill its operating and capital requirements for at least twelve months include public or private equity or debt financings. However, the Company may not be able to secure such financing in a timely manner or on favorable terms, if at all, and if the Company is unable to raise sufficient additional capital in the very near term, it may need to further curtail or cease operations and seek protection by filing a voluntary petition for relief under the United States Bankruptcy Code. Furthermore, if the Company issues equity securities to raise additional funds, its existing stockholders may experience dilution, and the new equity securities may have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of the Company’s existing stockholders. The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business, and do not include any adjustments to reflect the outcome of this uncertainty. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates and assumptions used by management include but are not limited to revenue recognition, the fair value of financial instruments measured at fair value, the recoverability of long-lived assets, equity based compensation expense, and net deferred tax assets (and related valuation allowance). Although the Company regularly assesses these estimates, actual results could differ materially from these estimates. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Restructuring Expenses | Restructuring Expenses The Company’s restructuring expense consists primarily of actions taken in May and October 2023 (the “2023 Workforce Reductions”) and March and September 2024 (the “2024 Workforce Reductions”) in order to reduce costs and improve operations and manufacturing efficiency. Severance-related costs were accounted for as a one-time termination benefit communicated by period end without an additional service component, so the charge represents the total amount expected to be incurred. As a result of reducing facility costs and discretionary spending unrelated to headcount and combined with the cost savings from the 2023 Workforce Reductions and 2024 Workforce Reductions, such plans were intended to decrease expenses and maintain a streamlined organization to support the Company's business. In connection with the Company’s restructuring initiatives, the Company entered into a lease termination agreement on February 28, 2024 with the landlord for the facility in Salt Lake City that resulted in a one-time termination fee of approximately $0.2 million paid in the third quarter of 2024. The Company continued to lease the property through June 2024. The Company accounted for the lease amendment as a lease modification and recorded a gain of $0.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024. On March 1, 2024, and September 4, 2024, the Company’s board of directors approved restructuring plans, including reductions in force, that reduced the Company’s annualized operating expenses. The 2024 Workforce Reductions were incremental to the 2023 Workforce Reductions. As part of the 2024 Workforce Reductions, the Company reduced its overall headcount by approximately 120 and 83 employees in March and September 2024, respectively. The Company had completed the reduction in force from the 2024 Workforce Reductions as of December 31, 2024. In addition, as part of the 2024 Workforce Reductions, Bionano Laboratories phased out the offering of certain testing services related to neurodevelopmental disorders, including autism spectrum disorders, and other disorders of childhood development. The Company may also incur additional costs not currently contemplated due to events that may occur as a result of, or that are associated with, the reductions in force. See Note 11 (Commitments and Contingencies) in these notes accompanying the consolidated financial statements for additional information. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash equivalents primarily represent funds invested in readily available money market accounts. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Company believes that it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Restricted Cash and Investments | Restricted Cash and Investments As of December 31, 2024, restricted cash consisted of cash restricted from withdrawal and usage and represents funds that were restricted related to the lease assumed in the acquisition of Purigen in 2022. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, restricted cash and investments consisted of the proceeds received from the Debentures as described further in Note 9 (Debt) that was deposited into a restricted account that requires the Company to maintain at all times, a cash or restricted investments balance equal to the lesser of (a) $11.0 million and (b) the then outstanding principal balance of the Debentures. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements The Company measures certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value is the price the Company would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction with a market participant at the measurement date. ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, defines and establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. In accordance with ASC 820, the Company has categorized its financial assets and liabilities, based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique, into a three-level fair value hierarchy as set forth below. Level 1 – Assets and liabilities whose values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market that the company has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 2 – Assets and liabilities whose values are based on quoted prices for similar attributes in active markets; quoted prices in markets where trading occurs infrequently; and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 3 – Assets and liabilities whose values are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. If the inputs used to measure the financial instruments fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Investment Securities | Investment Securities All investments have been classified as “available-for-sale” and are carried at fair value as determined based upon quoted market prices or pricing models for similar securities at period end. Investments with contractual maturities less than 12 months at the balance sheet date are considered short-term investments. Investments with contractual maturities beyond one year are also classified as short-term due to the Company’s ability to liquidate the investment for use in operations within the next 12 months. Realized gains and losses on investment securities are included in earnings and are derived using the specific identification method for determining the cost of securities sold. The Company has not realized any significant gains or losses on sales of available-for-sale investment securities during any of the periods presented. As all the Company’s investment holdings are in the form of debt securities, unrealized gains and losses that are determined to be temporary in nature are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The Company records an allowance for credit losses when unrealized losses are due to credit-related factors. At each reporting date, the Company evaluates securities with unrealized losses to determine whether such losses, if any, are due to credit-related factors. Interest income is recognized when earned, as are the amortization of purchase premiums and accretion of purchase discounts on investment securities. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Concentrations | Concentrations Credit Risks Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to significant concentration of credit risk, consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company maintains deposits in federally insured major financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and management believes that the Company is not exposed to significant credit risk due to the financial position of the depository institution in which those deposits are held. The Company’s customers are located throughout the world. The Company generally does not require collateral from its customers. More information on accounts receivable is contained in the paragraph titled “Accounts Receivable” below. Sources of Materials and Products The materials and components for the Company’s product offerings are currently obtained from single or limited sources. The Company competes with other companies for production capacity, therefore, the Company is exposed to a risk of inventory being unavailable at acceptable prices, or at all, if suppliers are unable (or decide) to provide sufficient levels of materials and components and the Company is unable to identify alternative suppliers. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses | Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses
Changes to the allowance for credit losses from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2025 were as follows:
The Company extends credit to its customers in the normal course of business. For diagnostic testing services, receivables are based on either contractual rates with third-party payors, plus the amounts expected to be collected for any patient-responsibility portion, or for non-contracted arrangements, using the amounts expected to be collected from third-party payors and/or the patient-customer based on historical collection experience. The Company does not perform credit evaluations and therefore subsequent adjustments to the amount expected to be collected are recorded to revenue. For OGM products and services, credit is extended based upon an evaluation of each customer’s credit history, financial condition, and other factors. Estimates of allowances for credit losses are determined by evaluating individual customer circumstances, historical payment patterns, length of time past due, forecasts about the future, and economic and other factors. Provision for expected credit losses is recorded as necessary to maintain an appropriate level of allowance for credit losses in selling, general and administrative expense. Amounts are charged to the allowance for credit losses when collection efforts have been exhausted and are deemed uncollectible. Accounts receivable is subject to concentration risk whenever a customer has a balance that meets or exceeds 10% of the Company’s total accounts receivable balance. As of December 31, 2025, there were no customers that met or exceeded a 10% concentration in the Company’s total accounts receivable balance. As of December 31, 2024, there was one customer with a 10% concentration of the Company’s total accounts receivable balance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Inventory | Inventory Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, on a first-in, first-out basis. Inventory is valued at standard cost. Inventory includes raw materials, work in process, and finished goods that may be used in the research and development process and such items are expensed as consumed or expired. Provisions for slow-moving, excess, and obsolete inventories are estimated based on product life cycles, historical experience, and sales forecasts. The components of inventories, net of reserve, are as follows:
The Company reviews its inventories for classification purposes. The value of inventories not expected to be realized in cash, sold or consumed during the next 12 months are classified as non-current within other long-term assets. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded a $7.2 million write-off of its Saphyr instrument spare parts and other excess or obsolete inventory as a result of the Company’s restructuring initiatives and change in business strategy announced in September 2024. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company’s excess and obsolete inventory reserve balance was $3.0 million and $3.8 million, respectively. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Loss on disposal of property and equipment | Loss on disposal of property and equipment Loss on disposal of property and equipment includes the net book value of assets that have been abandoned or retired and consists primarily of our leasehold improvements, furniture, equipment and fixtures that were abandoned and disposed of in the normal course of business. The Company recorded a loss on disposal of property and equipment of $0.3 million and $1.4 million during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Change in depreciable lives of property and equipment | Change in depreciable lives of property and equipment The Company reviews the estimated useful life of its fixed assets on an ongoing basis. This review indicated that the actual lives of the Company’s Saphyr and Stratys instruments were longer than the estimated useful lives used for depreciation purposes in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. As a result, effective January 1, 2024, the Company changed its estimates of the useful lives of the Company’s Saphyr and Stratys instruments to better reflect the estimated period during which these assets will remain in service. The estimated useful lives of the Company’s Saphyr and Stratys instruments were increased from 5 to 7 years. The effect of this change in estimate reduced depreciation expense by $1.8 million for the fiscal year 2024. There were no changes to the depreciable lives of property and equipment during the year ended December 31, 2025. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Disposal of In-Process Internal-Use Software | Disposal of In-Process Internal-Use Software In September 2024, Bionano announced a change in its business strategy to focus on driving utilization and adoption of OGM from the Company’s existing installed base, with less emphasis on new placements of the Company’s OGM systems, which resulted in a change in the manner in which the Company’s in-process internally developed software would be used; therefore, it became probable that the software would not be placed into service. The Company disposed of the project, and recorded a loss of $1.3 million included in selling, general and administrative expense on the consolidated statement of operations during the year ended December 31, 2024. No disposals of internal-use software were recorded in the year ended December 31, 2025. The Company’s in-process internal-use software was recorded in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the consolidated balance sheets. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Impairment of Long-Lived Assets (including Finite-Lived Intangible Assets) | Impairment of Long-Lived Assets (including Finite-Lived Intangible Assets) Long-lived assets consist of property and equipment and acquired finite-lived intangible assets. Property and equipment generally consist of laboratory equipment, computer and office equipment, furniture and fixtures, and leasehold improvements. Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated or amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets (generally to seven years, or the remaining term of the lease for leasehold improvements, whichever is shorter). Repairs and maintenance costs are charged to expense as incurred. Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are recognized separately from goodwill and are initially recognized at their fair value at the acquisition date. Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized over the estimated useful life of the asset on a basis that approximates the pattern of economic benefit. As a result of the Lineagen, BioDiscovery, and Purigen acquisitions, the Company recorded intangible assets, which consist of trade name intangibles, customer relationship intangibles, and a developed technology intangible, which are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of five years, with the exception of the developed technology intangible acquired through the acquisition of Purigen, which was amortized over fifteen years. Straight-line amortization was determined to be materially consistent with the pattern of expected use of the intangible assets. Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment if indicators of potential impairment exist. If the Company identifies a change in the circumstances related to its long-lived assets, such as property and equipment and intangible assets, that indicates the carrying value of any such asset may not be recoverable, the Company will perform an impairment analysis. A long-lived asset is not recoverable when the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset (or asset group) are less than the asset’s carrying amount. Any required impairment loss would be measured as the amount by which the asset’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, and would be recorded as a reduction in the carrying value of the related asset and a charge to operating expense. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company experienced a triggering event as a result of the restructuring initiatives announced in March 2024 that required an evaluation of its non-OGM Bionano Laboratories asset group for impairment. The Company performed a recoverability test and concluded that the non-OGM Bionano Laboratories long-lived assets were not recoverable; therefore, the Company measured the impairment loss and fully impaired the intangible assets acquired through the acquisition of Lineagen, consisting of its trade name and customer relationship intangible assets. The Company recognized an impairment loss of $0.4 million the three months ended March 31, 2024. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company experienced a triggering event and identified indicators of impairment in all of its asset groups as a result of the restructuring initiatives and change in business strategy announced in September 2024. The Company assessed the recoverability of each asset group and concluded the legacy OGM Bionano and Purigen asset groups were not recoverable. Therefore, the Company was required to perform an impairment analysis to determine the fair value of the legacy OGM Bionano and Purigen asset groups as further described below. The Company evaluated the fair value of the finite-lived assets of the legacy OGM Bionano asset group. The Company evaluated the fair value of the reagent rental instruments based on the expected sales volume or usage and recorded an loss of $2.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2024. The estimates and assumptions used in the assessment of the reagent rental instrument impairments represent Level 2 measurements because they are supported by executed sales transactions. The impairment loss associated with these reagent rental instruments was recorded to cost of product revenue in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. The Company estimated the fair value of the right-of-use assets and related office equipment and leasehold improvements for the San Diego facilities (Nancy Ridge and 9640 Towne Center Drive) and recorded impairment losses of $0.4 million and $0.2 million, respectively during the year ended December 31, 2024. The fair value of the right-of-use asset and related office equipment and leasehold improvements was estimated using the discounted future cash flow methods, which includes estimates and assumptions for future sublease rental rates that reflect current sublease market conditions as well as discount rates. The estimates and assumptions used in the assessment of right-of-use assets impairments represent Level 3 measurements because they are supported by little or no market activity and reflect the Company’s assumptions in measuring fair value. The impairment losses were recognized in intangible assets and other long-lived assets impairment in the consolidated statement of operations. The Company evaluated the fair value of the finite-lived intangible assets of the Purigen asset group, consisting of the Purigen trade name, customer relationships and developed technology, as well as the operating lease right-of-use asset and related office equipment and leasehold improvements. To estimate the fair value of the intangible assets, the Company utilized the discounted cash flow method to estimate the fair value of the asset group. The Company identified that no projected after-tax cash flows would be generated from the Purigen intangible assets and that the cost to maintain and sell the Purigen products exceeded the expected revenue to be generated from the asset group. The carrying value of the Purigen intangible assets therefore exceeded its fair value and the Company recorded an impairment loss of $17.3 million for the during the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company estimated the fair value of the right-of-use asset and related office equipment and leasehold improvements for the Pleasanton, California facility and recorded an of $0.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2024. The fair value of the right-of-use asset and related office equipment and leasehold improvements was estimated using the discounted future cash flow methods, which includes estimates and assumptions for future sublease rental rates that reflect current sublease market conditions as well as discount rates. The Company also recorded $0.1 million of leasehold improvements and office equipment impairments related to the Pleasanton, California facility during the year ended December 31, 2024. The estimates and assumptions used in the assessment of intangible assets, right-of-use assets and related office equipment and leasehold improvement impairments represent Level 3 measurements because they are supported by little or no market activity and reflect the Company’s assumptions in measuring fair value. The impairment losses were recognized in intangible assets and other long-lived assets impairment in the consolidated statement of operations. No losses were recorded during the year ended December 31, 2025. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Contingent Consideration | Contingent Consideration The Company recorded contingent consideration resulting from its business combinations at its fair value on the acquisition date. On a quarterly basis, the Company revalues this obligation and records any increase or decrease in fair value as an adjustment to the consolidated statement of operations. Changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration obligation may result from changes to the discount rate, the passage of time, or changes in the estimate of the likelihood or timing of achieving the criteria for payment of the contingent consideration. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Leases | Leases Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent our right to use an underlying asset during the lease term, and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets, while finance leases are included in finance lease right-of-use assets and finance lease liabilities. Lease assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The Company generally uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the estimated rate of interest for collateralized borrowing over a similar term of the lease payments. The ROU assets also include any prepaid or accrued lease payments and is adjusted for lease incentives and initial direct costs. Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease which are recognized when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. The Company has not included any options to extend in their lease term. Leases with terms of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease terms, or in some cases, the useful life of the underlying asset. Variable lease payments are excluded from the measurement of ROU assets and lease liabilities and are recognized in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred. The Company accounts for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component for all classes of underlying assets. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Convertible Debentures Payable | Convertible Debentures Payable The Company elected to account for its convertible debentures issued in May 2024, using the fair value option under ASC 825-10, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (or “ASC 825-10”). Such instruments are recognized at estimated fair value on the date of issuance, with changes in fair value after issuance recorded in other (income) expense, net on the consolidated statements of operations as a gain or loss, unless the change is a result of a change in credit risk, in which case such change in estimated fair value is recorded within other comprehensive income. Direct issuance costs are expensed as incurred and are charged to interest expense and recorded in other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations. Increases or decreases in the fair value of the debentures payable can result from updates to assumptions such as the expected volatility or changes in discount rates. Judgment is used in determining these assumptions as of the initial valuation date and at each subsequent reporting period. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity | Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity The Company accounts for issued warrants either as a liability or equity in accordance with ASC 480-10, Distinguishing Liabilities From Equity (or “ASC 480-10”), and ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging: Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (or “ASC 815-40”). Under ASC 480-10, warrants are considered a liability if mandatorily redeemable and require settlement in cash, other assets, or a variable number of shares. If warrants do not meet liability classification under ASC 480-10, the Company considers the requirements of ASC 815-40 to determine whether the warrants should be classified as a liability or as equity. Under ASC 815-40, contracts that may require settlement for cash that are not under the control of the Company are liabilities, regardless of the probability of the occurrence of the triggering event. Liability-classified warrants are measured at fair value on the date of issuance and on a recurring basis at the end of each reporting period with any change in fair value after issuance recorded in other (income) expense, net on the consolidated statements of operations as a gain or loss. If warrants do not require liability classification under ASC 815-40, in order to conclude warrants should be classified as equity, the Company assesses whether the warrants are indexed to its common stock and whether the warrants are classified as equity under ASC 815-40 or under another applicable GAAP standard. Equity-classified warrants are accounted for at fair value on the issuance date, or in a bundled transaction on a residual basis based on an allocation of proceeds first to the instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis, and are not subsequently remeasured. The Company’s outstanding warrants do not meet the requirements for liability classification under ASC-480-10 or ASC-815-40. Therefore, the Company’s outstanding warrants are classified as equity as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. |

| Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition The Company generates revenue primarily from the sale of products and services. The Company considers revenue to be earned when all of the following criteria are met: the Company has a contract with a customer that creates enforceable rights and obligations; promised products or services are identified; the transaction price, or the amount the Company expects to receive, including an estimate of uncertain amounts subject to a constraint to ensure revenue is not recognized in an amount that would result in a significant reversal upon resolution of the uncertainty, is determinable; and the Company has transferred control of the promised items to the customer. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer, and is the unit of account in the contract. The transaction price for the contract is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for the goods and services expected to be transferred. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, control of the distinct good or service is transferred. The Company provides assurance type warranties on many of its products. As customers cannot purchase such warranties independently of the products under the contract and they are not priced separately, assurance type warranties are not separate performance obligations. The Company recognizes a receivable when we have an unconditional right to payment, which is generally at the time of delivery of software, consumables and instruments, including any extended warranties, or at the time services are rendered. Payment terms are typically 30 days for sales to customers in the United States but may be longer in international markets. The Company treats shipping and handling costs performed after a customer obtains control of the good as a fulfillment cost and records these costs within selling, general and administrative expenses, less any amounts reimbursed by the customer, when the corresponding revenue is recognized. Revenue is recorded net of discounts and sales tax. The Company’s contracts typically do not provide for product returns or refunds. In general, estimates of variable consideration and constraints are not material to the Company’s financial statements. Employee sales commissions are recorded as selling, general and administrative expenses when incurred as the amortization period for such costs, if capitalized, would have been one year or less. Product revenue recognition Product revenue consists of sales of our OGM systems and related consumables, as well as sales of software. These products are sold primarily through a direct sales force, and within international markets, there is more reliance on distributors. In addition, the Company provides the OGM systems to certain customers under its reagent rental program, under which the Company provides OGM systems to customers at no cost and the customers agree to purchase minimum quantities of consumables. Transfer of control for the Company’s products is generally at shipment or delivery, depending on contractual terms, but occurs when title and risk of loss transfers to the customer which represents the point in time when the customer obtains control of the product. Transfer of control of software is recognized at the point-in-time when the software license is transferred to the customer. As such, the Company’s performance obligation related to product sales is satisfied at a point in time. For transfers of instruments and consumables to customers under the Company’s reagent rental program, the Company allocates the total contract consideration between the instrument and the consumables based on estimates of stand-alone selling prices, and recognizes the instrument revenue evenly over the rental period, and the consumables revenue when the consumables are delivered. Rental revenue related to the reagent rental program recognized over-time totaled $1.9 million and $2.0 million during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Revenue related to software license maintenance agreements is recognized over-time based on the contract term. Revenue recognized over-time related to software sales totaled $0.4 million and $0.4 million during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Service and other revenue recognition Service and other revenue primarily consist of revenue from diagnostic testing services, license maintenance agreements, software hosting arrangements, and support, repair and maintenance services and extended warranties on OGM systems. Revenue from the completion of diagnostic testing services is initially recorded at the estimated consideration the Company expects to receive from contractual and non-contractual payors, and is subject to adjustment based on the amount actually collected. The Company performs its obligation under a contract with a customer by processing diagnostic tests and communicating the test results, which the Company has determined is the point at which control is transferred to the customer for revenue recognition purposes. Revenue for hosting arrangements is recognized over-time on a usage basis as the customer processes the number of genetic samples purchased with the software. Hosting arrangements revenue recognized over-time totaled $0.5 million and $0.7 million during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Revenue from support and maintenance contracts and extended warranties is recognized over time based on the contract term, which represents a faithful depiction of the transfer of goods and services given the stand-ready nature of the performance obligations.

Distributor Transactions In certain markets, the Company sells products and provides services to customers through distributors that specialize in life sciences products. In cases where the product is delivered to a distributor, revenue recognition generally occurs when the distributors obtains control of the product. The terms of sales transactions through distributors are generally consistent with the terms of direct sales to customers and do not contain return rights. Distributor sales transactions typically differ from direct customer sales as they do not require the Company’s services to install the instrument at the end customer or perform the services for the customer that are beyond the standard warranty in the first year following the sale. These transactions are accounted for in accordance with the Company’s revenue recognition policy described herein. |

| Stock-based Compensation | Stock-based Compensation The Company issues stock-based awards as compensation to employees and directors. Stock-based awards may include stock options, restricted stock units, and performance stock units. These awards are accounted for as equity awards. To-date, the Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense net of actual forfeitures on a straight-line basis over the underlying award’s requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period, as measured using the award’s grant date fair value. The Company determines grant date fair value of stock option awards using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The fair value of restricted stock units and performance stock units are determined using the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. For service based vesting grants, expense is recognized over the requisite service period based on the number of options or shares expected to ultimately vest. For performance stock units, expense is recognized over the implicit service period, assuming vesting is probable. No expense is recognized for the performance stock units if it is not probable the vesting criteria will be satisfied. |

| Income Taxes | Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined on the basis of the differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent that the Company believes these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, management considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. If management determines that the Company would be able to realize its deferred tax assets in the future in excess of their recorded amount, management would make an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes. Changes in the valuation allowance when they are recognized in the provision for income taxes may result in a change in the estimated annual effective tax rate. The Company recognizes the impact of uncertain tax positions at the largest amount that is “more likely than not” to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. An uncertain tax position will not be recognized if it does not have a greater than 50% likelihood of being sustained. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within income tax expense. Any accrued interest and penalties are included within the related tax liability. |

| Segment Reporting | Segment Reporting Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which separate financial information is available and that is regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing performance. The Company’s CODM is its . The Company has determined it has one operating and reportable segment. Segment information is consistent with how management reviews the business, makes investing and resource allocation decisions and assesses operating performance. The Company’s measure of segment performance on a consolidated basis is consolidated net loss, which the CODM uses to allocate resources, after considering the Company’s strategic priorities, its cash balance, and its expected use of cash. In making resource allocation decisions, the CODM also evaluates budgeted results compared to actual performance. The measure of segment assets is reported on the consolidated balance sheets as total assets. Refer to the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the Company’s measure of profit (loss). See also Note 14 (Segment Reporting) in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements. |

| Net Loss Per Share | Net Loss Per Share Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding for the period. Common share equivalents are only included when their effect is dilutive. The Company’s potentially dilutive securities include outstanding convertible debentures payable into common stock, outstanding common warrants to purchase common stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance stock units (“PSUs”), and outstanding stock options under the Company’s equity incentive plans. For all periods presented, there was no difference in the number of shares used to calculate basic and diluted shares outstanding due to the Company’s net loss position. Potentially dilutive securities not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share because to do so would be anti-dilutive were as follows (in common stock equivalent shares):
