Calyx

Calyx creates versatile sensor platforms that detects a wide variety of airborne chemicals with high specificity and sensitivity unseen in current technologies. The sensor chip is made from patterned bio-materials that have been designed to bind to specific gas molecules and change color based on types of gases and concentrations. Our vision is to build safer cities by tying natural gas distribution infrastructure into IoT with cost effective, easily deployed and scalable detection grid.

Bigger than other sensing technologies, our library of protein receptors contains 1 trillion entries. Other sensors only have 40-50 options even after 70 years of development. Machine learning and artificial intelligence correlate sensor color output to gas concentration, enabling our technology to distinguish complex aromas and muliple gases.
