NimaSensor

NIMA (originally 6SensorLabs, founded by MIT alumni Shireen Yates and Scott Sundvor) makes a portable, consumer-use gluten detection sensor for people living with celiac disease and gluten sensitivity. A pea-sized food sample is loaded into a single-use capsule, inserted into the handheld NIMA Sensor, and returns a clear result in about three minutes, detecting gluten down to 10 ppm. The product relaunched in 2025-2026 with investment from RA Capital Management, pairing a next-generation sensor with newly engineered test capsules and the NIMA Now app. NIMA is a consumer hardware and e-commerce company (storefront hosted on Shopify), not a developer-API provider - it exposes no first-party public developer API. It is tracked in the API Evangelist network as a portfolio company of Uncork Capital.

NimaSensor is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Health, Consumer Hardware, Food Safety, and Gluten.

NimaSensor’s developer surface includes engineering blog, support, authentication, and 8 more developer resources.
