Signature consumer wearable Allergy Amulet will begin shipping this summer
MADISON, WIS. — May 18, 2022 Amulet, the company making the world’s smallest, fastest, and sleekest molecular detection technology capable of sensing everything from pathogens in the air to pesticides in produce, today announces its official launch. Amulet is the company behind Allergy Amulet™, a consumer brand with a signature wearable that alerts people to allergens in their food, and Amulet Scientific™, a commercial brand that equips industry with a detection platform for identifying a range of molecular targets, including food toxins and environmental contaminants.
Amulet leadership is focused on scaling its existing products while pioneering industry applications for its powerful MIP-ELFS™ patented technology.
“After launching Allergy Amulet, we soon realized that food allergies were just the tip of the iceberg,” said Abigail Barnes, Co-Founder and CEO of Amulet. “We wanted to establish a company that reflected the broad possibilities of our technology. The capabilities of our science are vast—we’re exploring applications in food safety, clinical diagnostics, and environmental contaminants.”
Amulet is off to a great start in 2022:
- Allergy Amulet ships: Allergy Amulet has developed the world’s smallest and fastest consumer food allergen sensor that tests for common allergenic ingredients in seconds. Its groundbreaking and patented technology fits on a keychain, a necklace, a wristband, or in a pocket, making it easy to manage life with food allergies and intolerances. After a successful pre-order campaign that sold out in four hours, Allergy Amulet will begin shipping its first units to pre-order purchasers this summer.
- Amulet Scientific launched: Amulet Scientific launched in February, introducing the world’s smallest handheld and battery-powered potentiostat. The Amulet Scientific brand will focus primarily on commercial food safety applications.
“It’s inspiring as an investor to see a company that’s not just laser-focused on building an incredible product, but also with the potential to improve the lives of millions,” said Laura Kauer Rodriguez, of Bulldog Innovation Group, a Yale alumni-focused venture fund.
*A potentiostat is an indispensable piece of equipment for developing sensors, energy storage solutions, and corrosion-monitoring technologies.
