Matterworks is unlocking predictive biology through an AI-powered platform that immediately uncovers actionable discoveries hidden in LC-MS raw data. Our Large Spectral Model (LSM) has been trained on billions of proprietary raw LC-MS spectra across diverse applications. Built on this foundation, the Pyxis query system leverages the LSM to rapidly identify biomolecules without disparate, time-consuming, and laborious downstream processes. 

Available in application-specific configurations, Pyxis transforms conventional manual processing into immediate AI-driven results, expanding the breadth and speed of biomarker discovery, upstream bioprocess optimization, and downstream process development.

Matterworks brings together expertise in AI, software engineering, and analytical chemistry to bridge the gap between raw data and phenotypic endpoints hidden in the dark matter. By developing our AI-powered platform for rapid biomolecule discovery, identification, and concentration determination, we are creating the new standard for researchers, data scientists, and industry leaders to uncover previously unattainable insights and accelerate decision-making across discovery and development.
