Singularity dream shattered, elemental explosion

【Answer 1】 Three months—six units sold. Since the end of 2022—over a year and a half—it’s sold only 30 units. Ever since launch, quarterly sales have never exceeded double digits... The CEO says, 'The first quarter was productive and encouraging'... I can’t even bring myself to call him out on it. Let’s be real: Can G4X—the so-called 'game-changer' in space biology slated for 2025—really reverse the course of the future? Setting aside domestic competitors like MGI Tech and Seeking Biology—whose entry into the Americas remains challenging—just consider the heavyweights already entrenched there: 10x Genomics, Vizgen, and Element Biosciences. Are any of them pushovers? Whether the singularity will explode remains unknown—but the dream shattering? That’s entirely plausible. Elemental explosion The singularity hasn’t exploded—but elements certainly have... As early as September 2023, Element Biosciences—one of the three rising NGS sequencer startups in the U.S.—announced it had shipped 100 instruments. If that still doesn’t sound 'productive and encouraging,' here’s another data point: On May 14, 2024, Element announced it had secured orders for 200 sequencers. One wonders whether Singular’s CEO is stomping his feet—and whether his feet have gone numb... Beyond the Q50—which is already en route—Element is also planning to launch Trinity this year: its on-instrument targeted enrichment solution, designed to fundamentally streamline workflows and revolutionize targeted sequencing in clinical research. In my understanding, this follows a technical pathway similar to the original NimbleGen solid-phase capture + sequencing integration.
