SHANGHAI, April 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Alamar Biosciences, a portfolio company of Qiming Venture Partners and a global leader in precision proteomics, successfully listed on the NASDAQ Stock Exchange on April 17th, 2026, Beijing Time. Alamar (NASDAQ:ALMR) issued shares at a price of $17 per share and opened at $22.6 per share with a market capitalization of approximately $1.5 billion.
Qiming Venture Partners led Alamar’s Series A financing in 2020 and continued to fund the company’s development in the following Series B and Series C rounds. Before the company’s IPO, Qiming Venture Partners held approximately 19.2% stake in Alamar and was one of its most important institutional investors.
Founded in 2018, Alamar is a commercial-stage proteomics company dedicated to developing and commercializing proteomics technologies and establishing the gold standard in protein detection and analysis. Alamar’s self-developed NULISA™ technology breaks through the design limitations of existing proteomics tools, delivering ultra-high sensitivity, high specificity, flexible multiplex protein detection, broad dynamic range and seamless automation to detect protein biomarkers at extremely low concentrations, filling a critical gap previously uncovered by other protein detection methods.
In addition, the company’s self-developed ARGO™ HT fully automated, high-throughput system enables a “sample-to-answer” automated workflow, driving rapid growth in product market penetration. As of the end of 2025, the ARGO™ HT system had accumulated an installed base of over 100 instruments, serving more than 300 customers across 25 countries. Since the commercialization of its platform, the number of scientific articles published based on its technologies and products has exceeded 100.
