What Singh Instrument does

Singh Instrument LLC, founded in 2016 and headquartered in Livermore, California, designs and sells modular high-throughput experimentation (HTE) platforms for pharmaceutical, biotechnology, chemical, and energy research organizations. Its product portfolio spans microtiter-plate pressure reactors (M-Series), polyolefin multi-channel reactors (P-Series), a standalone parallel catalysis and hydrogenation system (Perseverance), clamshell reactors (C-Series), a 24-well synthesis platform with on-board FTIR (S-Series), an optimization basket reactor with patented linear mixing (LiRec), heated/cooled plate stirrers (LiStir 3P), and an automated solution preparation system (SP-03). Engineering differentiation rests on a patented LiRec linear mixer, a pending high-pressure injection/sampling valve with 1.5 µL dead volume rated to 500 PSIG at 200°C, mid-head stirrer designs for glovebox operation, and a parallel autosampling architecture with zero cross-talk for kinetic resolution. Configurable automation software supports drag-and-drop method creation and data export to .xml, .json, and .csv, with import capability for legacy Symyx Library Studio recipe files.

The company sells directly to enterprise research customers via quote-based capital equipment sales, supplemented by professional services, training, and support. European coverage is delivered through an exclusive 2023 partnership with Xplore s.r.l., which serves as official showroom and exclusive service partner for the P-Series platform; a January 2026 collaboration with 20/15 Visioneers extends marketing and selective business development capacity. Revenue is generated through one-time hardware sales, software licenses integrated with instrument purchases, and ongoing service contracts. The company is founder-owned and privately held with no disclosed institutional funding, operates with a 1–10 person team, and reports a globally deployed footprint across leading catalysis, hydrogenation, materials, and bioprocess development programs.
