Clarus Labs brings laboratory-grade testing on-site with an easy, three-step 10-minute assay so pet-food makers can secure higher-quality ingredients, cut antioxidant and packaging waste, and reduce the risk and cost of recalls.
Built for antioxidant developers, researchers, and pet food manufacturers
At Clarus Labs, we build portable instruments and testing kits that bring lab-grade chemical testing right next to the production line.
Our first products quantify oxidative rancidity in fresh meats, pet food ingredients, and finished pet food in about 10 minutes. This lets teams screen incoming meat ingredients before unloading and verify product quality before it leaves the plant.
Furthermore, the same rapid, reliable measurements will provide researchers and antioxidant developers a practical tool for studying rancidity and antioxidant performance without slow outsourced lab work.
Our platform is designed to support additional assays over time. We are exploring food and agriculture applications such as oils, sauces, and nuts, as well as safety and diagnostic markers such as nitrates, aflatoxin, and algal bloom metabolites.
Over 200 interviews with pet food producers, researchers, and suppliers confirming demand for rapid oxidation testing.
A portable chemistry platform with expansion paths into additional food safety and diagnostic assays.
Patented technology enabling fast, on-site chemical analysis with lab-level accuracy.
Backed by competitive National Science Foundation SEED funding that supports technical validation and commercial development.
