All metabolizing microbes constantly interact and communicate with their environment through the exchange of molecules between the microbe cell and their surroundings. This ongoing molecular exchange alters the chemical composition of the extracellular environment over time.

FLORA™ is a proprietary chemical composition featuring two distinct component groups: our innovative Enriched Nutrient Formulation, which activates specific metabolic pathways to accelerate microbe metabolism and our novel fluorescent chemical sensors, which track extracellular chemical changes resulting from these metabolic activities.

With FLORA™, we can monitor over twenty chemical parameters both in the absence and presence of a wide range of antimicrobial agents.

Powered by FLORA™, KAIROS delivers ultra-rapid real-time monitoring of microbe metabolism, offering critical insights and improving our capacity to track microbe behavior.
