ChromaCode

ChromaCode, Inc. is a Carlsbad, California molecular diagnostics company that applies digital signal processing and data science to standard PCR chemistry. Its High-Definition PCR (HDPCR) platform multiplexes more than four times the targets of conventional digital PCR on existing qPCR and dPCR instruments, with no new hardware, reagents, or workflow. The chemistry is paired with ChromaCode Cloud, a browser-based analysis platform that decodes raw PCR run files into interpreted variant calls, plate and well-level visualizations, and downloadable PDF reports that can be exported to LIMS and third-party reporting systems. Products span oncology tumor profiling (the HDPCR NSCLC panel), minimal residual disease and disease monitoring, transplant rejection, and previously an FDA EUA high-throughput SARS-CoV-2 assay. ChromaCode Cloud is a closed, customer-authenticated SaaS: it runs a REST API at chromacodecloud.com/api behind a Keycloak OpenID Connect identity provider whose discovery documents are publicly readable, but ChromaCode publishes no developer portal, OpenAPI definition, SDKs, or public API documentation.

ChromaCode publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Molecular Diagnostics, Genomics, Oncology, and PCR.

ChromaCode’s developer surface includes support, authentication, and 21 more developer resources.

  description: The customer-authenticated REST API behind ChromaCode Cloud 6.1, the browser application that decodes HDPCR
    run files. Observed resource surface includes analyses, assays and assay downloads, batch reanalysis and reporting, instrument
    and instrument-info configuration, audit-log configuration, site banners, multipart upload initialize/update/finalize,
    an equalization-job endpoint, search, and document downloads (EULA, privacy policy, release notes, user guide). Every
    /api path returns HTTP 401 with a JSON authorization envelope when called anonymously; access is gated behind Keycloak
    OpenID Connect (realms "apps" and "cloud" at openid.chromacodecloud.com). ChromaCode publishes no OpenAPI definition,
    developer portal, or public reference for this surface — it is a product API for licensed laboratory customers.
