Kraken Sense
Kraken Sense is dedicated to redefining pathogen detection, microbial monitoring, biosurveillance, and public health testing through innovative, real-time, autonomous detection systems. Their mission is to provide accessible, reliable, and advanced solutions for industries such as water, agriculture, aquaculture, food safety, environmental monitoring, bioprocessing, and biosecurity, ensuring safety and efficiency with cutting-edge technology. They develop all-in-one pathogen and chemical detection solutions to accelerate results by replacing lab testing with field-deployable devices, such as the KRAKEN system capable of detecting bacteria and viruses down to 1 copy. Their applications include epidemiology detection in wastewater and microbial contamination testing in food processing.

Products
Field-deployable autonomous pathogen and chemical detection system
Integrated instrument that autonomously collects and concentrates samples, performs multiplexed molecular detection on-board and transmits encrypted results to a cloud platform for remote monitoring, alerting and analytics.
Automated sequencing library preparation platform
Hands-free instrument that performs automated nucleic acid extraction and prepares sequencing libraries (metagenomic, pooled, whole-genome) for downstream sequencing workflows, reducing hands-on time and standardizing preparation.
