Minim Science
Minim Science builds the world's first portable Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) sensor for on-site, near-instant gluten detection in food products. The technology applies military-grade sensing physics, capable of detecting trace amounts at parts-per-trillion levels, to give food businesses quantitative certainty for labeling and compliance. This enables manufacturers, food service providers, and retailers to validate products without costly third-party lab testing.

Problem
Food allergy and intolerance testing is largely confined to costly third-party laboratories, leaving most businesses without practical on-premise validation options. Consumers with gluten sensitivities face an unreliable patchwork of label reading, online research, and questioning restaurant staff, exposing them to ongoing health risks.
Solution
Minim Science provides a portable Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) sensor that enables businesses to test products for gluten on-site and near-instantly. The technology detects trace amounts of gluten with quantitative precision, allowing manufacturers, food service providers, and retailers to validate their products and open new growth channels. By bringing laboratory-grade measurement to the point of production, the solution reduces third-party lab costs and mitigates liability risks. The sensor applies EPR physics — the same technology used by the military to detect covert nuclear activity at parts-per-trillion levels — to make sophisticated allergen detection practical on a commercial scale.
Target Audience
Primary customers are food manufacturers, food service providers, and retailers that need to validate gluten content in their products on-site, as well as the broader allergy community that benefits from verified, trustworthy labeling.
