Revenue Streams

Hardware device sales

SigTuple's primary revenue driver is selling its automated digital microscope hardware (e.g. the AI100) outright to diagnostic laboratories.

source
Recurring software service fees

Once a device is deployed, SigTuple collects ongoing service fees for the AI diagnostic software that runs on the hardware to classify blood and urine cell images.

source
Device rental in resource-limited settings

Where labs cannot afford to buy the microscope outright, SigTuple rents the device instead of selling it, lowering the adoption barrier in disadvantaged settings.
