FOR RESEARCHERS
In-vivo gut chemistry, for your study.
Regional pH, redox, temperature and transit from one capsule, in real participants, over days. For research use only.
Research use only · Not FDA-cleared · Not CE-marked
JOURNEY OF A CAPSULE
From stomach to colon, one continuous record.
Tap a region to see how the gut environment changes along the way.
Stomach: Acidic; oxidative redox.
WHAT YOU CAN MEASURE
Four signals, by region.
pH by region
Where drugs dissolve, nutrients absorb and fermentation happens.
Redox (ORP)
The oxidation-reduction environment along the gut. Exploratory measurement.
Temperature
Core temperature and ingestion/exit landmarks.
Transit
Gastric emptying, small-bowel and colonic transit, derived from the recordings.
WHERE RESEARCHERS USE IT
Built for questions stool and blood cannot answer.
Nutrition and fiber studies
The gut environment where fermentation happens.
Drug development
GI transit and regional pH as study endpoints; context for oral formulations.
GLP-1 and metabolic research
How the gut changes as therapy is titrated.
Microbiome studies
In-vivo context next to stool metagenomics.
Inflammation research
Exploratory redox profiles.
Physiology
Core temperature and circadian patterns.
Unpublished results showed the correlation between fecal short-chain fatty acids and colonic pH (ρ = −0.81).
