Multiplex Power Made Practical.

Introducing Kai™, AI-powered PCR development for high-efficiency, cost-effective solutions that deliver more with less.

Advanced PCR Shouldn’t Be Reserved for the Few.

Multiplex PCR is a powerful tool, but traditional development is slow, expensive, and built around high-end platforms many labs can’t access. Kai™ was created to change that.

Now, you can design large-scale PCR solutions for real-world labs, practical budgets, and everyday platforms, without compromising performance.

Introducing Kai™

Smarter Design for a More Efficient World.

Kai™ uses artificial intelligence to create highly multiplexed PCR kits that are:

  • Compatible with standard thermal cyclers
  • Developed with optimized cost-performance in mind
  • Capable of detecting 50+ targets in a single assay

Whether you’re monitoring spoilage, mapping microbial ecosystems, or building large-scale screening tools, Kai™ gives you the tools to do more, faster, and smarter.

Why Kai™

Built for Flexibility. Designed for Impact.

  • Multiplex Without Limits: Detect dozens of targets in one streamlined reaction
  • Accessible Platform Integration: Designed for commonly used PCR systems, with just a single reading channel (FAM)
  • Resource-Efficient Development: Get from idea to validated kit without overspending
  • Optimized for Scale: Ideal for production, environmental monitoring, and spoilage control

Kai™ empowers labs of all sizes to harness the full potential of multiplex PCR, without needing elite infrastructure.

Application Focus: Spoilage and Beyond

Broad Microbial Insight in Every Run.

Kai™ is the intelligence behind next-gen spoilage detection kits, powering assays that identify bacteria, yeast, molds, and more, all in one go.

From factory floors to food production, you gain:

Faster corrective actions

Fewer test runs

Richer data per sample

Whether you’re running broad surveillance panels or niche screens, Kai™ adapts to your needs.

How KAi works

From Idea to Assay, Simplified.

1

Define Your Needs: Choose your targets, bacteria, yeasts, molds, or combinations.

2

Kai™ Builds Your Kit: AI models optimize primers, multiplex performance, and reaction conditions.

3

You Validate and Deploy: With our guidance, your solution becomes reality.

Development made smarter. Multiplexing made accessible.

Kai™ simulates thousands of primer interactions in silico, optimizing multiplex reactions that balance efficiency, sensitivity, and specificity, even on resource-conscious platforms. The result? High-quality performance without the complexity.
