The Calyx platform is built around innovation in phage sensing technology that enables nearly limitless combinations of sensors to be brought to market faster than before. Our sensors combine high durability, reliable accuracy, with versatile specificity in a cost effective package.

Calyx X-series is the core barebones module version of all our sensors.

Versatile

Our technology can be applied to a wide range of industries and problem statements. What makes Calyx sensors versatile and flexible compared to other sensors in the market?

Phages are the most common and smallest organism on the planet. There’s 10 billion on your hand right now and they also exist in the Calyx database. Because there’s over a trillion phages on the planet, we are able to bioengineer gas sensors for any gas you can imagine. Our growing list of calibrated gases currently include ammonia, benzene, ethanol, formaldehyde, toluene, xylene. Soon to be included are ethane, methane, tert-butylthiol, tetrahydrothiophene, trinitrotoluene. But the options are endless.

Reliable Accuracy

Calyx’s proprietary chips are coated with bundles of calibrated phages sensitive to a specific gas. When gas is present, these bundles swell, scattering light in highly consistent and measurable patterns. Our technology also allows our sensors to be 500x more sensitive than conventional technologies, yielding high specificity and accuracy.

Low Total Cost of Ownership

Our products are designed to be maintenance-free for multiple years. Designed to minimize intrusion risks with IP6X waterproof & dustproof ratings, and mechanically robust to prevent ingress and damage by rodents.

With use of low-energy technology, our devices are able to last for 6 years or more, without needing to service, replace, clean, calibrate, or charge.

Solution Providers

The Calyx platform is built to scale with more sensors ready to be geared specific to your needs, whether they be specific gases, chemical vapors or biological aromas.

Our solutions are not limited to ammonia sensing and the agricultural industry. We can detect a variety of gasses and can tailor solutions to suit specific business and industry needs.
