Who are SampleFacts?

We are an Uppsala, Sweden-based team, combining academic researchers and business professionals. We share the goal of introducing our microsampling devices to enable low-cost collection of separate blood cells and plasma samples.

Simple facts about SampleFacts

SampleFacts technology is based upon research carried out by Professor Ulf Landegren and Dr Johan Björkestein at Uppsala University. Their vision is to develop intuitive devices that eliminate barriers associated with blood sample collection as required during research, pre-clinical and clinical studies and, ultimately, for applications in the healthcare market. The SampleFacts company was founded in 2023 and is headquartered in Uppsala, Sweden.

Separately collected dry cell- and plasma fractions of blood are perfectly suited for modern molecular analyses. The sampling method will also enable facile construction of extensive biobanks with many consecutive samples from large numbers of donors. These types of longitudinal biobanks are a prerequisite for identifying early markers of disease, and to enable precision medicine in routine patient care.
