Mexico’s Kutsari Initiative Unveils Saliva-Based Creatinine Sensor Chip Prototype

With design hubs nearing completion across three states, officials aim to secure a commercial semiconductor deal before year-end.

Overview

  • Kutsari has developed a prototype semiconductor chip that measures creatinine in saliva for potential health-monitoring applications.
  • The Puebla design-and-construction center is ready for inauguration, Jalisco will launch operations at Cinvestav-Guadalajara and Sonora will host a unit at the University of Sonora under a signed agreement.
  • Project leaders have held talks with the Korean Semiconductor Association, Siemens and IMEC to explore design collaborations, accelerated training and potential technology transfers.
  • Officials expect to finalize at least one commercial partnership for Kutsari-produced semiconductors by the end of 2025.
  • An accelerated training program for researchers and students will launch in August to build a specialized domestic semiconductor workforce.
