Abstract

Point-of-care (POC) PCR diagnostics has arrived in veterinary medicine. To meet the rising demand for rapid, reliable molecular diagnostic tools for use away from centralized laboratories in vet clinics and even on farms, INDICAL introduces a novel POC PCR platform that transforms your smartphone into a portable lab for the real-time PCR diagnosis of animal diseases. At the heart of it is a handy, ultra-portable qPCR thermocycler. This thermocycler enables multiplex real-time detection of up to 27 targets from a single sample or 9 samples to be tested for up to 3 targets each. It also comes with shelf-stable PCR reagents, meaning no cold chain is required.
