Citrine Platform (Apex & Catalyst)

Citrine Informatics is a US enterprise SaaS company in Redwood City, California, that applies AI to materials and chemicals development. It addresses slow, trial-and-error formulation work in which experimental data is sparse, messy and scattered.

The platform combines a data layer (Omni universal data harmonizer, data model), an AI layer (Apex predictive modeling) and an insight layer (Catalyst, analysis and visualization), plus training and data preparation services. It is no-code for product experts and works with small datasets. Customers named on the site include Huntsman, Stepan, Evonik, TotalEnergies and Saint-Gobain.

• Omni data harmonizer: unifies messy lab and process data into a common data model.
• Apex: predictive modeling layer that selects the best model architecture per project.
• Catalyst: assistant that moves from a product goal to suggested experiments.
• Data analysis and visualization: surfaces the driving factors behind properties.
• Materials history: tracks lineage of materials and experiments.
• Services: training, support and data preparation for customer teams.

A coatings or resin plant in Vietnam could predict formulation properties from historical batches. A building-materials producer could cut trial runs when adjusting cement or composite mixes. A university materials lab could partner on data harmonization for battery research.

No-code AI lets product experts run predictions without data-science staff. Works with small, sparse datasets. Site cites 84% less formulation time at Dorfner and one day instead of six months for a starter formulation at Huntsman. Holds ISO 27001:2022 certification.

Specialty chemical and materials companies are adopting AI-guided experimentation to cut the number of physical trials. Adoption now depends on usability for lab scientists rather than data-science teams. Vietnamese producers of coatings, polymers and battery or construction materials may follow as export customers demand faster product iteration.

Headquartered in Redwood City, California. Press releases in 2025-2026 include ISO 27001:2022 certification (2025-02), a DARPA INTACT program role (2025-08), a BioMADE project (2026-02) and partnerships with Perstorp and ANZAPLAN. Earlier releases mention a Japan partnership with SCSK.
