IntegenX Innovation and the Team
IntegenX (IXI) is a private venture-backed company in Pleasanton, California. Our leadership team and employees share a passion and vision—building integrated ‘sample-to-answer’ solutions that will change the practice of life sciences research. The Company is built on the integration expertise of its employees, the 30+ patent families that it has exclusively licensed and the creative application of our ground-breaking microfluidics platform—Microscale-On-Chip Valves (MOVe™).
IntegenX systems automate complicated laboratory workflows that are tedious, repetitive and require small volumes. All IntegenX systems perform upfront sample preparation that includes purification and concentration from real world samples. The ability to transition initial samples in milliliters to the nanofluidics environment and then to integrate many process steps, is highly differentiated from other fluidic and microfluidics platforms.

Our Work Environment and Culture
We have a strong cohesive group of talented scientists, engineers and commercial team members all united by our goal. We hire outstanding people, expect great individual and team contributions and have a fast-paced ‘start up’ work ethic.
Success in building integrated solutions is a team approach, so we are always seeking creative, talented, positive individuals who are passionate about working in a highly multidisciplinary environment and who will strengthen the team. The rewards are many: the opportunity to make new possibilities happen, the fun of working with other outstanding team members and personal and career development.
We do expect a great deal from every employee, but we always make time to have fun, whether at our weekly informal Company lunch or celebrating our successes together. We offer a comprehensive and competitive benefit program to care for you and your family now and to help you build wealth and financial security for the future.
