We and our customers are dependent on single source and sole source suppliers for some of the equipment, components and materials used in our products and in conjunction with our products and the loss of any of these suppliers could harm our business."

Consumables

The majority of our consumable products are manufactured at our facilities. These manufacturing operations include, among other operations, gel bead generation, surfactant synthesis and emulsion oil formulation, reagent formulation and tube filling, certain of our microfluidic chips, kit assembly and packaging as well as analytical and functional quality control testing.

Instruments

We outsource manufacturing for our Chromium, Visium and Xenium instruments to qualified contract manufacturers who have represented to us that they maintain ISO 13485 certification. We perform optical and final assembly, instrument integration and testing of our Xenium instrument in-house.

Human Capital

At 10x, our success begins with our people. We are led by a talented, global and diverse team of scientists, software developers and subject matter experts who help drive adoption of our products and support our vision. We have built a multidisciplinary team with talent and expertise across a diverse set of areas such as chemistry, molecular biology, microfluidics, hardware, computational biology and software engineering, and have supplemented this diverse technical experience with our operational team with expertise in manufacturing, legal, sales, marketing, customer service, human resources and finance. As of December 31, 2024, we employed a total of 1,306 individuals, 961 of whom were employed in the United States and 345 of whom were employed outside the United States.

As of December 31, 2024, our employees included 410 in research and development, 491 in sales, marketing and support, 213 in general and administrative and 192 in manufacturing, many of whom hold PhDs in their respective disciplines. Additionally, most of our senior management team and the members of our board of directors hold PhDs and/or other advanced degrees. Our Company's scientific expertise is therefore embedded within the management team and throughout the organization, and our employees are highly motivated by our mission. We emphasize employee development and training, and aim to provide employees with competitive compensation.

We have never experienced a work stoppage. In addition, none of our U.S. employees are represented by a labor union or covered under a collective bargaining agreement. In our international territories, apart from standard industry-wide labor unions and compulsory collective bargaining agreements, none of our employees are represented by a labor union or subject to a collective bargaining agreement
