TilePix’s first-ever in-store launch introduces new TilePix frame sizes and the Super Nail hanging solution, alongside the Walmart-exclusive 6×6 TilePix Mini launch

NEW YORK, Oct. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — TilePix, the magnetic, nail-free wall décor brand, today announces its first nationwide in-store product launch at Walmart. Now rolling out on Walmart.com and in select stores across the U.S., the expanded assortment of TilePix wall décor and hanging products begin hitting shelves on October 19th, with the full in-store rollout expected to be complete by the end of October. The launch marks a major expansion of TilePix’s retail presence.

The launch brings three new additions to Walmart shoppers:

TilePix blank magnetic frames in 8×10, 11×14 and 12×12 sizesThe Super Nail by TilePix, a new universal nail-free hanging solution for frames up to three poundsThe TilePix Mini, a new Walmart-exclusive 6×6 magnetic photo tile

For the first time, Walmart customers can purchase TilePix’s new 8×10, 11×14 and 12×12 blank magnetic frames on store shelves in addition to the online assortment to open and add their own photos, artwork or designs. Customers can even print photos through Walmart Photo and create a custom gallery wall in one trip. Each frame uses TilePix’s magnetic backers, allowing consumers to peel, stick and hang TilePix frames without nails, tools or wall damage. As always, the brand’s re-stickable magnetic wall pads make TilePix easy to move, swap and rearrange. The new blank frames also all come with a built-in kickstand, giving consumers the option to display each frame on a wall or tabletop.

Also making its debut at Walmart is The Super Nail by TilePix, a universal nail-free hanging solution designed to hold virtually any small picture frame or lightweight wall art up to three pounds. TilePix’s Super Nail attaches to the wall through a peel-and-stick application and features an adjustable hanger that lets users shift frame placement without starting over. Its slim design stays hidden behind the frame, giving consumers the flexibility to straighten, reposition and restyle their wall décor without traditional nails or tools. Available in one or two-pack options, the Super Nail brings the innovation behind TilePix’s traditional frames to any frame 3 pounds or lighter.

Finally, this month, TilePix introduces its smallest frame yet, the TilePix Mini is a 6×6 photo tile, hung nail-free with magnets, available exclusively at Walmart. The smaller format brings the flexibility of TilePix to a new scale, making it easy to turn favorite photos and memories into nail-free wall displays in bedrooms, dorms, apartments, kids’ rooms and smaller spaces.

“This nationwide expansion with Walmart marks a pivotal moment for Tracer as we evolve TilePix from a standalone magnetic tile into a full nail-free wall décor ecosystem,” says Tracer Imaging CEO and Founder Steven Spiro. “Whether framing a print, hanging existing art with the Super Nail, or styling a space with the new TilePix Mini, we are eliminating the friction of traditional home décor and making personalized design accessible to everyone.”

The Walmart expansion comes ahead of the 2026 holiday season, giving shoppers new ways to personalize their homes and gift their favorite memories. TilePix will support the launch with a holiday campaign centered on DIY creativity, product education and style-driven inspiration, showing how consumers can use the new assortment to make their walls feel more personal without making their decorating decisions permanent.

The Walmart launch marks a major next step for TilePix: not only is the brand available at retail, but it’s moving beyond its original magnetic photo tiles and into a broader ecosystem of flexible wall décor and hanging solutions. Whether consumers are creating a personalized gallery wall with TilePix frames, hanging an existing frame with the Super Nail or building a display with the new TilePix Mini, each product is designed around the same idea: your walls should be as easy to change as your style.

Beginning October 19th, TilePix 8×10, 11×14 and 12×12 blank magnetic frames and TilePix Super Nail will be available on shelves at more than 3,000 Walmart stores nationwide. The TilePix Mini, the new Walmart-exclusive 6×6 magnetic photo tile, will be available through Walmart.com and on in-store kiosks for shipping and in-store pickup.

eGlint Wins 2026 BioTools Innovator Grand Prize, Recognizing Its Breakthrough in Rapid, Distributed Proteomics

Published

on

By

Company awarded $250,000 Grand Prize at BioTools Innovator Capstone Competition, highlighting the potential of its ProteoNex™ biosensor platform to transform protein measurement across life science research, biomanufacturing, and clinical diagnostics.

SAN DIEGO, Oct. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — eGlint, Inc., a biotechnology company developing next-generation extremely rapid proteomics technologies, today announced that it has been named the 2026 BioTools Innovator Grand Prize Winner, receiving the $250,000 top award at the BioTools Innovator Capstone Competition held October 14 in San Diego, California.

The award recognizes eGlint’s innovative approach to protein measurement and its potential to transform how researchers, biopharmaceutical manufacturers, and healthcare providers access critical biological information.

eGlint was selected as the winner following a live competition among four finalists—Caravel, Pando Bioscience, QuantumCyte, and eGlint—chosen from a highly competitive field of more than 550 applicants worldwide. The four finalists emerged from the 30-company 2026 BioTools Innovator accelerator cohort, which brought together promising emerging companies developing technologies to advance life science research, drug development, and diagnostics.

The Grand Prize Winner was selected through live audience voting by attendees that included life science industry executives, investors, strategic partners, and technology innovators.

Recognizing Innovation in Rapid Proteomics

eGlint is developing a new generation of distributed proteomics technologies designed to make quantitative protein measurement faster, more accessible, and more actionable.

At the core of the company’s technology is its proprietary ProteoNex™ biosensor platform, which uses engineered affinity reagents and thermal stability measurements to enable rapid, sensitive, and multiplexed detection of proteins and other biological molecules.

Unlike conventional protein measurement technologies that often require centralized laboratories, specialized equipment, and lengthy workflows, eGlint’s platform is designed to deliver quantitative results in approximately 10 minutes, enabling protein measurements closer to where and when decisions are made.

The platform supports three complementary product systems:

ProteoMix™: A rapid, multiplex protein measurement system compatible with existing quantitative PCR (qPCR) instruments, initially targeting research, biopharmaceutical development, and cell and gene therapy manufacturing applications.ProteoCare™: A point-of-care platform designed to enable rapid measurement of multiple biomarkers in clinical settings, with initial applications in critical care, ARDS, sepsis, and inflammatory disease monitoring.ProteoHome™: A miniaturized platform being developed to extend molecular testing into decentralized and at-home environments with just the use of a smartphone.

Together, these systems support eGlint’s vision of making proteomics a readily accessible source of real-time biological information, rather than a laboratory measurement that requires hours or days to obtain.

A Milestone for eGlint and the BioTools Innovator Community

“Winning the 2026 BioTools Innovator Grand Prize is an incredible honor, particularly given the outstanding quality of the other three finalists and the companies across the entire cohort,” said Robert W. Georgantas III, PhD, Chief Executive Officer of eGlint.

“The BioTools Innovator program has been an extraordinary experience for our team. The mentorship, engagement with our peers, and access to industry expertise and resources have been transformative, helping us accelerate our first product launch and sharpen our commercialization strategy. We are truly grateful to the BioTools Innovator team, our mentors, and the broader cohort for their support, and we are proud to be part of the BTI family.”

The 2026 BioTools Innovator program brought together 30 companies selected through a rigorous evaluation process involving industry leaders, investors, and more than 120 judges from across the life sciences ecosystem.

Throughout the accelerator, participating companies received individualized mentorship, strategic guidance, industry connections, and opportunities to engage with potential customers, partners, and investors.

eGlint also participated in the BioTools Innovator wraparound Vanguard Accelerator, which supports technologies with potential applications in deploying innovative medical countermeasures that enhance the United States’ preparedness and response posture against health security threats in line with BARDA’s mission.

Accelerating the Commercialization of Real-Time Proteomics

The Grand Prize comes as eGlint advances the commercialization of ProteoMix, its first product system, while continuing development of its point-of-care and decentralized diagnostic platforms.

ProteoMix enables rapid, multiplex protein measurements using widely available qPCR instrumentation, eliminating the need for customers to purchase dedicated new analytical equipment.

The company’s initial commercial focus includes cell and gene therapy development and manufacturing, where rapid measurement of cytokines and other protein biomarkers could substantially improve process monitoring, quality control, and manufacturing decision-making.

By reducing the time required for protein measurements from hours to minutes, eGlint aims to help researchers and manufacturers make more timely, data-driven decisions while reducing workflow complexity and analytical costs.

Looking ahead, the company plans to extend its biosensor technology into clinical applications, where rapid measurement of inflammatory and other disease-associated biomarkers could support more timely diagnosis, patient monitoring, and personalized treatment strategies.

“This recognition comes at an important moment for eGlint as we move from technology development toward commercialization,” added Georgantas. “Our goal is to fundamentally change how and where proteins are measured, making high-quality proteomic information available in minutes, wherever it is needed. Winning the BioTools Innovator Grand Prize reinforces the importance of that mission and provides additional momentum as we bring our first products to market.”
