Technology
Nightingale’s internationally recognized biomarker analysis technology utilizes NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) and an in-house developed quantification software to study and predict chronic diseases.
The leading approach to assess metabolic health
Our NMR-based technology provides a fine-grained snapshot of systemic metabolism and disease effects, measuring biomarkers from multiple pathways from one sample, in a single experiment.
High-throughput
Fast analysis even for the largest sample collections.
Low cost
Large coverage of biomarkers for an affordable price.
Consistent results
Sample preparation is minimal, resulting in comparable results between batches.
Accurate and precise
NMR-technology, our standard operating procedures and QMS all contribute to ensuring precise, repeatable and reproducible results.
Quality indicators
The intrinsic quality biomarkers in our blood panel can be identified to reveal samples of compromised quality.
Fully quantitative data
Biomarker measures provided in an easy-to-interpret format, in absolute concentrations (mmol/l, g/l and biologically meaningful ratios).
From research to clinics
Being used to analyse samples for leading research initiatives and healthcare settings, our technology is narrowing the gap between science and clinical use.

How it works
Nightingale’s technology is both affordable and scalable, accommodating any number of samples and providing fast delivery times. The platform handles every step of the process, from blood sample analysis to health data delivery.
Step 1
Each sample is tagged for identification.
Step 2
Minimal sample preparation, only buffer added.
Step 3
The NMR instrument scans the samples in a non-destructive way.
Step 4
NMR data is transformed into biomarkers of absolute concentrations.
Step 5
Results ready for analysis and interpretation.
