Unlock Enzyme Potential 100x Faster with Ultrahigh-Throughput Screening

Screen 100,000 variants in a single day using label-free mass spectrometry. No more bottlenecks. No more compromises.

You've Solved Design • You've Solved Build • Now Solve Testing

Computational biology and DNA synthesis have evolved exponentially. You can design billions of enzyme variants. But testing them? You're still using 60-year-old microwell plate robotics—screening hundreds per cycle, taking weeks to complete a single optimization round.

The result: Promising leads get shelved. Parallel engineering campaigns become economically unfeasible. Time-to-market suffers.

µMaldi changes that equation.

Comparsion: Traditional screening requiring multiple instruments vs µMaldi integrated benchtop platform
Left: Traditional screening requires multiple instruments and manual transfers. Right: µMaldi integrates sample preparation through MALDI analysis on a single benchtop platform.

Traditional

96–384 samples per run. Weeks of analysis. High equipment cost.

µMaldi

100,000 samples per run. Hours of analysis. Benchtop footprint.
