A measurement platform for seminal protein content.
Established dye-binding biochemistry adapted for at-home use. Quantitative protein measurement from a single sample, read by your phone.
Quantitative proteomics, simplified.
The Cumomics platform uses a proprietary dye-binding colorimetric reaction. Protein shifts the dye's absorbance from 465 nm to 595 nm — brown to blue — and the size of that shift tracks how much protein is there.
Scroll to add protein — or drag the slider under the spectrum.
From brown to blue in three moves.
The same dye-binding chemistry labs have relied on for decades, scaled down to a single vial.
- 01465 nm
Unbound
In its unbound state, the reagent dye is protonated into a cationic form — a reddish-brown solution with a maximum light absorbance (λmax) at 465 nm.
- 02Arg · Lys · His
Binding
Proteins from your sample bind the dye through electrostatic interactions with basic amino acid residues — arginine, lysine, and histidine — and hydrophobic attractions.
- 03595 nm
Bound
This non-covalent binding stabilizes the unprotonated, anionic state of the dye, shifting its color to a deep blue and moving the absorbance peak to 595 nm.
Colour to number
Your phone is the instrument.
The magnitude of the spectral shift is directly proportional to total protein concentration. Our proprietary collection device controls sample volume and reagent delivery with controlled precision, and your smartphone camera captures the resulting color change with enough fidelity to resolve that shift into a quantitative protein readout.
Repeatable precision. Zero laboratory required.

Tackling the male loneliness epidemic.
Science without purpose is just noise. We built ours around a crisis hiding in plain sight.
Male loneliness is real. Men report fewer close friends than they used to, and plenty of guys would rather do almost anything than ask someone to hang out.
Cumomics already collects rich biochemical data from every user. We decided to put it to work.
