We are
Microsampling.

For most of medicine, the sample has waited on the patient to show up. One in five adults won’t. We believe it should be the other way around: the sample comes to the person (patient-centric sampling, done to clinical-grade). That’s what we give ourselves to.

A clinical-grade sample collected at home
In the hand

It should feel like nothing.

Guided in real time, collected at home or at the point of care (a clinical-grade sample, wherever collection happens).

Why microsampling

Why we give ourselves to this.

Moving collection off the venous draw and the clinic visit changes what a programme can do, and the evidence is published, not theoretical.

Recruitment & retentionNo appointment, no travel, no phlebotomist (reach and keep participants a clinic footprint never sees).
Pain & needle aversionA large share of adults avoid blood draws; capillary microsampling removes the barrier.
FrequencyA home or point-of-care device makes serial, longitudinal sampling routine (trajectories, not snapshots).
Room-temperature logisticsDried and buffered formats ship ambient (no cold chain, no excursion risk).
Cohort diversityLower cost per sample opens cohorts across geography and demographics clinic-bound studies miss.
Published validationAt-home HbA1c, pediatric PK, therapeutic drug monitoring, anti-doping and decentralised trials, with high sample-return compliance reported.

What is microsampling?

Microsampling is the collection of clinical samples (blood, stool, urine and saliva) in small, standardised quantities. It uses purpose-built collection devices, matched to the sample type. Where the assay demands a precise volume, the device meters it, as with volumetric dried blood.

The samples are small and standardised, and, in most formats, stable at room temperature. So the same collection works in two settings. A clinician can take it at the point of care: in a practice, clinic or ward. Or the patient can collect it at home. Either way, the sample returns to an accredited laboratory under documented chain of custody. It replaces the venous draw and the phlebotomist (and, for at-home collection, the clinic visit itself) with a kit, clinical-grade logistics, and software that lands clean, structured results in your systems.

Humans Nexus is the infrastructure that makes it work (one patient-centric platform orchestrating the kit, the logistics, the practice and the ISO 15189-accredited laboratory).

Two settings, one platform

At home, and at the point of care.

Because the sample is small, stabilised and standardised, the same microsampling collection runs in either setting (self-collected by the patient at home, or clinician-collected at the point of care) on one platform into the same accredited labs.

Good to know.

What is microsampling?

Microsampling is the collection of small-volume clinical samples through patient-centric workflows. Depending on the validated workflow, collection can take place at home or at the point of care and can be performed by patients, caregivers or healthcare professionals. Humans Nexus begins with capillary blood and coordinates sampling workflows across saliva, urine and stool through Pulse.

Is microsampling as accurate as a venous draw?

For a validated panel, yes. Capillary and dried formats such as VAMS are designed to deliver clinical-grade results from microlitre volumes, with controlled-temperature transport protecting analyte integrity end to end.

Which sample types can be collected remotely?

Capillary blood (in liquid, VAMS and dried-blood-spot formats) plus saliva, urine and stool, all orchestrated on one platform.

What makes it clinical-grade rather than a mail-in test?

Documented chain of custody, ID-matched tamper-evident sealing, DHL-tracked returns and controlled-temperature logging from collection through to accessioning.

Who is Humans Nexus for?

Laboratories, pharma and CROs, digital-health companies and insurers. Partners reach the patient; Nexus never sells directly.
