FABPulous company profile

FABPulous is an innovative healthcare company which develops and markets solutions for diagnostics in primary care and emergency medicine. FABPulous is a company based in The Netherlands. It was spun out of Maastricht University at the end of 2008. In December 2009 FABPulous closed a first equity financing round co-led by Thuja Capital, Health Innovations, Limburg Ventures and NV Industriebank LIOF. The company has developed a technology that allows a simple, robust and ultra-rapid diluted plasma preparation from a drop of blood. This offers great advantages in the point-of-care (POC) and home testing setting, over current technology. It concerns a disposable plasma preparation device that can be integrated with many IVD detection platforms, such lateral flow devices. The first product application under development by FABPulous is a rapid test for the cardiac biomarker heart-type fatty acid binding protein (H-FABP), to aid in the first-line diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction.
