EXPLANATORY NOTE
On November 20, 2025, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Quanterix Corporation ("Quanterix" or the "Registrant") adopted the 2025 Inducement Plan. Such plan was amended and restated by the Board on January 8, 2026 and further amended and restated by the Board on September 4, 2026, pursuant to the Amended and Restated 2025 Inducement Plan (as amended and restated to date, the "Inducement Plan"). The Inducement Plan was adopted and amended and restated without stockholder approval pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c)(4).
A total of 2,893,465 shares of Quanterix common stock, par value $0.001 per share ("Common Stock"), were previously reserved for issuance under the Inducement Plan and on September 4, 2026, the Board approved an increase of an additional 415,000 shares of Common Stock to the reserve under the Inducement Plan.
The only persons eligible to receive grants of nonqualified stock options, restricted stock unit awards and other stock-based awards under the Inducement Plan are individuals who satisfy the standards for inducement grants under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c)(4).
The Company is filing this registration statement on Form S-8 (this "Registration Statement") solely for the purpose of registering the 415,000 additional shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance under the Inducement Plan. Pursuant to Rule 416(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), this Registration Statement also includes an indeterminate number of additional shares of Common Stock that may become issuable under the Inducement Plan by reason of anti-dilution and other adjustments.

Pursuant to General Instruction E of Form S-8, Quanterix is filing this Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") to register an additional 415,000 shares of its Common Stock under the Inducement Plan. The additional shares registered under the Inducement Plan are of the same class as other securities relating to the Inducement Plan for which the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-292362) filed with the Commission on December 22, 2025 is effective and for which the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-292759) filed with the Commission on January 15, 2026 is effective.
