Aerocrine AB

Aerocrine AB

Aerocrine is a medical technology company focused on improving the treatment of patients with inflamed airways. Measuring airways inflammation helps doctors to diagnose, monitor and optimise therapy for people with inflammatory airway diseases. The founders of Aerocrine emerged from the highly prestigious Karolinska Institute in Sweden where they were the first to identify nitric oxide (NO) as a marker of inflammation. Aerocrine has taken this significant discovery from laboratory to listed company and is now established in some of the world’s largest markets. The company markets two products globally NIOX Flex and NIOX MINO. Both are highly reliable and effective tools to assist in the diagnosis and control of airways disease.
