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.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Health regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/chromacode: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts. Want it done for you? Prioritized profiling — $2,500 →

  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.
