Clarus Labs is building a rapid, on-site chemical testing platform that brings quantitative decision-making closer to the point of need.

In food and ingredient manufacturing, oxidation is a major driver of spoilage, quality loss, and shelf-life decline, yet current testing workflows force a difficult tradeoff: faster methods often lose reliability in complex samples, while lab-based methods are slower, more expensive, and disconnected from real-time production decisions.

Clarus Labs is addressing this gap with a portable instrument and consumable testing-kit platform designed to deliver rapid, reproducible oxidation testing in about 10 minutes across meat, pet food, and ingredient sample classes.

Our initial commercialization focus is on antioxidant suppliers and research-focused users, where oxidation testing is frequent, technically important, and well suited to validation-driven adoption. Over time, we expect to expand into pet food manufacturers, ingredient companies, renderers, and testing laboratories seeking faster and more consistent oxidation workflows.

The platform is being developed as a hardware-enabled consumables business, with instrument placement intended to drive recurring test-kit revenue over time. Clarus Labs has conducted 200+ customer discovery interviews and is actively validating the platform with industry collaborators. 

Clarus Labs is building a more practical on-site testing workflow for oxidation today, with broader chemistry expansion potential over time.
