The ABEL story
In the early days of Diag-Nose.io, we remember crouching over the bench cutting strips of filter paper with scissors, hoping each piece was close enough in size and hoping for a breakthrough as we struggled to guide them into the nose.
Some samples worked, some didn’t.
It was slow, frustrating, and far from precise, so we set out to find a better way.
The ABEL Microsampler® was born from that frustration: a microsampling device that makes nasal fluid collection simple and consistent. It replaces handmade variability with reproducibility, giving scientists reliable data to uncover molecular signatures of disease.
From those first hand-cut samples to a refined scientific instrument, ABEL embodies our belief that precision starts at the point of collection, and that’s where discovery begins.
