The new facility is located at 29 Business Park Drive in Branford, Connecticut, and provides the resources necessary for increased operational scale, development, and collaboration. This milestone represents Quantum-Si's anticipated growth trajectory and ability to support customers and partners using Platinum™, the world’s first next-generation single-molecule protein sequencing platform.

“The cities of Branford and Guilford, and State of Connecticut have been incredible partners to Quantum-Si since our founding. Our company’s roots are here, our relationships are here, and we want to continue building a world-class company here.” said Quantum-Si's Chief Executive Officer, Jeff Hawkins. “Our new headquarters reflects the company’s ongoing commitment to job opportunities and innovation alongside the local community. We believe New Haven County is the perfect strategic location to attract world-class scientific talent as we seek to grow our teams. We look forward to leading the expansion of the life sciences industry in Connecticut.”

“We have a truly transformative product on the market in Platinum, the next-generation protein sequencer, a leadership bench of highly experienced executives, and now we have the facilities to scale alongside that growth” said Dr. Jonathan Rothberg, Founder and Chairman of Quantum-Si. “Next-generation protein sequencing will be critical for the discovery of a new wave of precision therapies, and I am proud to see this work being done in the community I call home."

“Quantum-Si’s clear commitment to cutting edge technology— and to Connecticut— are truly thrilling. Connecticut has a long history and tradition of being at the forefront of innovation and Quantum-Si carries on that legacy with their next generation protein sequencers that are advancing and accelerating our understanding of medicine and human health.” Said Sen. Blumenthal. “I am grateful and excited to have celebrated this milestone today and look forward to Quantum-Si’s future endeavors in our state.”
