K-One®:
redefining surface chemistry

The exponential growth and technical complexity of novel pharmaceutical and diagnostic projects are driving unprecedented analytical demands. However, innovations in devices, materials, and computational methods are only one part of the equation. Without tight control over surface interactions, even the most advanced platforms can yield unreliable results.

K-One is a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) that enables controlled immobilization of ligands on gold nanoparticles and chips and protects the surface against non-specific binding (NSB). This enabling technology unlocks applications once out of reach due to technological limitations, setting new standards for surface treatment in biosensing. It has been the foundation of Kimialys since the company’s creation in 2020 and powers all our products and services today.
