Detect Early. Act Faster. Protect Every Harvest.

High-sensitivity pathogen detection enables early identification of infection risks before clinical signs appear, supporting timely intervention and better disease control.

Designed for aquaculture applications, our solutions combine rapid screening, straightforward result interpretation, and actionable decision support to improve farm management and stock survival.

  • Early Detection: Identify pathogen risks before visible symptoms emerge.
  • Rapid Results: On-site results in as little as 30 minutes.
  • Easy to Use: No complex instruments required for pond-side or field testing.

High-Sensitivity Pathogen Detection

Million-fold target amplification enhances the detection of low-abundance pathogens and early-stage infections.

Enhanced Specificity

Multiple target verification steps help reduce false positives and false negatives for greater confidence in results.

Fast and Easy Testing

Lateral-flow readout delivers results in as little as 30 minutes, with no complex instruments required.

  • High specificity
  • Fast (30-40 minutes)
  • Easy operation
  • Qualitative testing
  • Not quantitative
  • Incubation or early-stage infection
  • Chronic infection or recovery stage
  • On-site portable testing
  • When results affect treatment decisions (e.g., antiviral use), nucleic-acid testing is recommended for higher accuracy
LAMP Colorimetric

LAMP Colorimetric

(EZassay Color Readout)
