Bruker develops and delivers high-performance scientific instruments that let researchers and clinicians explore biology with precision. Within Bruker Cellular Analysis, the Beacon Discovery™ platform enables live, single-cell functional analysis in environments where data quality directly impacts discovery timelines, research reproducibility, and translational outcomes. This isn’t exploratory science for curiosity’s sake; Beacon is designed to produce reliable, interpretable results for real-world research workflows.
Across translational research, antibody discovery, cell line development and cell therapy development, Beacon Discovery™ helps reduce uncertainty in complex single-cell systems. By combining optofluidic hardware for precise single-cell manipulation, high-throughput capability, and multi-parameter assays, the platform keeps the focus where it matters: clear, actionable data, faster insight, and reproducible results without compromising throughput or quality.
Beacon DiscoveryTM Wins The Scientist Top Innovations Award for 2025!
See firsthand how Bruker platforms capture high-resolution biological data while integrating seamlessly into clinical and research workflows. From sample preparation to actionable insights, our systems streamline every step — reducing variability, boosting throughput, and supporting confident decisions.
In the demo, you’ll notice how effortless sample handling saves time and minimizes errors, while real-time data acquisition accelerates insight. The intuitive user interfaces make complex analyses straightforward, reducing training time and operator variability.
Every output is designed to be decision-ready, whether it’s guiding research conclusions, supporting clinical interpretations, or improving workflow efficiency across the lab. The video shows exactly how technology translates into tangible results for your day-to-day work.

Quanterix Business Manager
As a trusted partner for Bruker Cellular Analysis, we make the Beacon™ platform easy to adopt and use. We connect your lab with Beacon Discovery™ and the broader Beacon ecosystem, helping you implement live, single-cell functional analysis for antibody discovery, T cell profiling, and translational research, supported by expert guidance at every step.
In fast-paced research and clinical environments, every hour counts. Bruker instruments are built to reduce bottlenecks and eliminate uncertainty, giving you faster, more reliable results without compromising on depth or accuracy. This means fewer reruns, cleaner datasets, and more confidence in every decision — whether it’s interpreting a patient sample, validating a drug target, or exploring complex molecular interactions.
Beyond speed and accuracy, these platforms integrate seamlessly into your workflow, so your team spends less time troubleshooting and more time advancing science. Intuitive software, automation-ready hardware, and robust analytical performance mean you can focus on insight rather than instrumentation. The outcome: improved lab efficiency, higher reproducibility, and a smoother day-to-day routine for both researchers and clinicians.
Ultimately, Bruker instruments aren’t just tools — they’re partners in discovery and diagnostics, designed to give you clarity, confidence, and actionable insight when it matters most.
