Identification of pathogens that cause infectious diseases of cattle is essential for correct diagnosis and treatment of infections. Currently used methods are laborious, time consuming, low-sensitivity assays that involve manual operations and thus do not achieve accuracy and high throughput requirements of the cattle industry.

The LUMEX INSTRUMENTS real-time PCR analyzer AriaDNA® and microchips with lyophilized reagents offer simple, rapid and accurate determination of pathogens, matching cost-effectiveness and throughput requirements of the industry.

The microchips with lyophilized PCR reagents just need an addition of the test sample with a buffer into the individual reactors of the microchip thus significantly minimizing human error.
