Nima partners gluten tester?

Does anyone know what happened with Nima partners? I have a Nima gluten tester and wanted to order some more test capsules and no website, contact info? Disappointing - I found the Nima very helpful. And now I cannot even reorder testers?

The original company was purchased by Medline Industries, Inc., and they initially made the test modules available for a short time, but have apparently pulled the plug on the Nima Sensor. I am not sure exactly why, but suspect that it was purely a financial decision.

Thank you - I suspect that as well - financial. I had been ordering them fine after the transition. I will miss my Nima. Hoping something in the works.  Thank you.

Medline shut them down after that first acquisition, but the investor that bought them a year or two later seemed to be in it for the right reasons when he rebranded it as Nima Partners. It's been nearly three months since their website went down and nearly as long since their last update, so no one really knows what happened.
Finances and logistics probably had a lot to do with it. We have always made our test kit domestically which has helped us on the supply side and everything is handled and inspected by staff at multiple steps, so labor is a big cost. They were making an electronic device with specialty housing, so they not only had that cost but likely had a bigger supply and quality issue depending on where there manufacturing was based.
