A Patented LC-MS Kit for Measuring Biological Aging Rate

Argeron Medical has developed a patented diagnostic kit specifically designed to measure biological aging rate — the speed at which biological damage accumulates over time.

The Argeron diagnostic kit is a standalone clinical tool. It generates actionable results without requiring artificial intelligence, while remaining compatible with optional AI-based decision support for extended interpretation.

What the Kit Measures

The Argeron diagnostic kit measures biological aging rate, not chronological age and not a static biological age estimate.

Biological aging rate reflects:

  • How fast molecular damage progresses
  • Whether aging is accelerating, stabilizing, or slowing
  • Early deviation from healthy biological trajectories

This makes the measurement inherently longitudinal and predictive, rather than descriptive.

Molecular Basis: Protein Deamidation Kinetics

The kit is based on the quantitative measurement of protein deamidation kinetics, a spontaneous and chemically irreversible molecular process.

Why protein deamidation?

  • Accumulates progressively over time
  • Irreversible under physiological conditions
  • Reflects cumulative biological stress
  • Provides a stable molecular substrate for rate-based measurement

By quantifying deamidation kinetics, the kit captures a true aging-rate signal rather than transient biological noise.

Measurement Platform: LC-MS

The diagnostic kit is designed for use with standard LC-MS infrastructure, enabling high analytical precision and reproducibility.

Key characteristics:

  • High molecular specificity
  • Quantitative and reproducible output
  • Compatible with existing laboratory workflows
  • Suitable for clinical and research environments

The measurement result is generated locally by the laboratory or hospital, independent of cloud connectivity.

Independent of Artificial Intelligence

A critical design principle of the Argeron diagnostic kit is clinical independence.

  • The kit does not require AI to function
  • Early detection and aging-rate assessment are achieved through the biochemical assay itself
  • Results can be interpreted using established clinical and analytical frameworks

Artificial intelligence is not part of the measurement step.

Patent Protection

The assay chemistry, measurement methodology, and analytical framework underlying the diagnostic kit are protected by international patent filings.

This protection ensures:

  • Long-term scientific defensibility
  • Reproducibility across laboratories
  • Controlled expansion into additional clinical domains

Optional AI-Based Decision Support (Post-Measurement)

While the diagnostic kit functions independently, users may optionally choose to upload their results to Argeron’s AI-based clinical decision support platform.

In this context, AI:

  • Does not generate diagnoses
  • Does not measure aging rate
  • Provides reference-based contextual interpretation
  • Compares results with aggregated clinical datasets
  • Generates extended analytical reports

Clinical autonomy always remains with the local institution.

Clinical Value

The Argeron diagnostic kit enables:

  • Early detection of accelerated biological aging
  • Longitudinal monitoring of biological change
  • Risk stratification beyond chronological age
  • Translation of aging biology into clinical decision-making

It shifts aging assessment from static estimation to dynamic measurement.

Summary

  • Measures biological aging rate
  • Based on protein deamidation kinetics
  • Uses LC-MS for precise quantification
  • Functions independently of AI
  • Protected by international patents
  • Can be extended through optional AI-based decision support

This is a diagnostic kit first — designed to quantify how fast biology changes, not just how old it is.
