CLAIR / Human + veterinary oral health

Earlier recognition.
Better-informed oral care.

CLAIR explores saliva testing alongside professional assessment for people and animals. Our clinical question is whether additional evidence can help appropriate assessment, treatment, and follow-up happen sooner.

Human oral health Veterinary oral health
Shared engineering, separate evidence

The human program begins with a periodontal assessment research question. The veterinary program focuses on canine dental triage. Each needs independent validation.

CLAIR is a concept platform in development. Not for sale or clinical use. Performance has not been established.

01 / The clinical question

What changes
after a concern is recognized?

A useful result must lead to a clinically appropriate next step.

The care pathway connects recognition to professional assessment, treatment when indicated, and ongoing care. We will study clinical benefit, patient or animal welfare, decision-making, and cost alongside test accuracy. Human and veterinary programs require separate evidence.

02 / The lab-on-disc approach

One connected path,
from sample to evidence.

  1. 01 / Collect

    Start with saliva.

    Defined collection and sample-validity checks.

  2. 02 / Process

    Let the disc prepare.

    Centrifugal microfluidics for controlled sample handling.

  3. 03 / Read

    Standardize the signal.

    Controlled optical readout and structured interpretation.

03 / Two oral-health programs

Different patients.
Dedicated development tracks.

Human oral health

Professional periodontal assessment research.

An exploratory program for adult dental care. Human marker selection, intended use, and clinical evidence remain to be established.

Explore the human program ↗

Veterinary oral health

Canine dental triage research.

A candidate saliva panel and validity controls, studied alongside the awake oral exam and conversations about further dental assessment.

Explore the veterinary program ↗

Both programs are in development and unavailable for clinical use. Evidence, panel composition, and thresholds are specific to each intended use.

04 / Build with MicroCD Labs

Different expertise.
A shared next step.

For dental teams

Shape the human research question.

Discuss periodontal assessment, human saliva research, and professional workflow.

For veterinary teams

Shape the clinic workflow.

Discuss pilot fit, collection, usability, and the evidence your practice needs.

For product teams

Move a development question forward.

Microfluidics, cartridges, CAD, prototypes, and verification planning.

For research partners

Explore the scientific foundation.

Kinetic assay analysis, engineering tools, and our development questions.

Research foundation

An assay is more
than its endpoint.

Our kinetic image-analysis preprint explores what changes over time in an assay signal, from region-of-interest tracking to endpoint-versus-rate comparison.
