Stool Specimen Collection Made Easy.

Solutions for your research developed
by experts in sanitation innovation.

Our Innovation

Transforming scientific discovery

Stool biomarkers are an exciting and growing area of research. In microbiome research, we know that recruiting participants willing to provide specimens is critical.

Precision tracking for individual wellness

However, traditional stool collection is cumbersome, often messy, and relies on substandard methods—all of which contribute to low participation.

Empowering researchers and individuals

To ease the process and advance research, we are engineering new approaches.

A Revolutionary Smart Toilet For Monitoring Health and Managing Disease.

Smart Toilet

Coprata has developed the world’s first stool-sampling toilet. Our Smart Toilet provides convenience to research participants and easy access to longitudinal data for long-term studies.

This technology can automate biochemical tests such as the MAT with the routine use of the bathroom.

Health Monitoring Toilet

Measure how your body chemistry changes by seamless biomarker monitoring. Tests such as fecal pH, are possible without manual collection, thanks to the automated, hands-free stool sampling technology. The Smart Toilet is elegantly designed to fit effortlessly into your daily routine with immediate and actionable results.

Early Detection & Management of Disease

Detecting Health Issues Before Symptoms Appear


Long before symptoms of disease show up, gut biomarkers can signal problems. One example is occult blood, a marker for colorectal cancer and digestive conditions. Smart toilet technology can detect this with 96% sensitivity. Another marker for our Smart Toilet is the inflammatory protein calprotectin which is critically important for individuals suffering from IBD.

Contribute To Issue Identification When Symptoms Are Present

When symptoms arise, frequency and appearance of bowel movements are key indicators. Smart toilets use built-in sensors to automatically monitor habits. This monitoring supports reliable assessments and early detection of disorders.
