Pyxis™
The New Standard for Metabolome Reading
While technology for reading genomic information has improved dramatically over the last decade, the ability to read metabolomes — the small molecules that power cellular processes — has not. Quick and reliable access to the metabolome is essential to the life sciences, yet the framework for metabolomics based on peak isolation and matched calibrated standards is inadequate for the complexity of biological systems.

The metabolome lies closest to phenotype, but biology has lacked the tools to read it
The LC/MS framework is still stuck on analyte isolation and individual calibrated measurement.

Matterworks is building technologies to solve the problem of whole metabolome reading
Our LSM enables new fundamental understanding of mass spectra to overcome the barriers associated with conventional metabolomic methodologies.
The New Standard for High-Resolution, Real-Time Absolute Quantitation in Metabolomics

High Throughput
The use of machine learning removes the need for peak integration, which allows for faster chromatographic methods. With an injection-to-injection cycle of less than 7 minutes and streamlined data analysis, Pyxis is built with the throughput capability required for deep metabolomics insights.

Absolute Quantitation
Pyxis is designed for absolute quantitation of polar metabolites, providing unparalleled data quality in a scalable metabolomics solution.

Consumables
Matterworks kits contain everything you need to get started. The kits enable rapid implementation and ease-of-use.
Our StandardCandlesTM universal calibrators remove the need for per-analyte standards.

LC-MS Methods
Pyxis runs on your existing instrument, supported on common LC-MS platforms for metabolomics. It employs a fast robust LC-MS method suitable for all skill levels that seamlessly integrates with common high-resolution instrument configurations.

Rapid Results
No peak picking or curve integration, Pyxis transforms raw MS data into concentration automatically, allowing you to focus on the insight your data offers.

Get Started with Pyxis
Pyxis has successfully demonstrated correlation to existing metabolomic measurements with samples generated by our alpha collaborators.
