Silicon Kinetics was founded in April 2002 in San Diego, California, as a spin-off from Trex Enterprises Corporation, an advanced R&D house, with core competencies in optoelectronics, materials and systems engineering.

Today, Silicon Kinetics is headquartered in San Diego, with porous silicon labs in Maui, Hawaii.

With the world’s most versatile, most sensitive and most economical set of instruments and sensor chips, we aim for wide adoption of our nano-Pore Optical lnterferometry (nPOI) platform for biomolecular interaction analysis in both academic research and pharmaceutical/biotech industries.
