Foot-and-Mouth Disease Virus (FMDV) Test Chip

On-site FMDV PCR for swine farms — results in under 60 minutes.

Foot-and-mouth disease is the most trade-sensitive notifiable disease in pigs, cattle and small ruminants. A field PCR result on vesicular fluid within an hour lets veterinary authorities and integrators act on a suspect case immediately instead of waiting days for the reference laboratory. Runs on the CarryOn portable analyzer with a sealed, single-use microfluidic chip; nucleic acid extraction and real-time fluorescence PCR are fully automatic, and chips store at room temperature.
