PROTECT STOCK & PROFIT
Outbreaks escalate fast.
Onsite diagnostics give you the hours you need to isolate, treat, and save stock.
- Catch issues before they spread across ponds/cages
- Avoid blanket treatments and unnecessary losses
TARGETED, ACTIONABLE TESTING

Many aquaculture health tests that once required PCR or ELISA labs can now be screened onsite with iaX and rapid assays, enabling early detection, trend monitoring, and fast intervention before disease spreads.
iaX can digitize and quantify both immunoassay LFAs and nucleic-acid rapid tests, including RPA, CRISPR, and aptamer-based assays, so long as they use a lateral-flow strip readout.
ACCURACY YOU CAN RELY ON
Consistent, clear results, every time
Machine-read LFAs reduce human error and catch subtle changes early.
SMARTER FARM MANAGEMENT
Turn daily testing into daily action
Tie results to pens, ponds, cohorts, and treatments.
Flag pens/ponds for isolation or retesting
Log treatments and outcomes alongside results
Create audit trails for buyers and regulators
RESULTS IN MINUTES, NOT DAYS
Cut delays, courier costs and blind spots
Replace slow lab loops with rapid onsite insights.
Old way (remote lab)
- ×Ship samples, then wait days for results

A farm manager's experience with early detection and isolation.
“Daily pond checks with iaX gave us the clarity to act quickly. We isolated two ponds and avoided wider loss.”
ANSWERS YOU NEED
Aquaculture FAQs
From training and maintenance to test availability and cost.
What species/pathogens are supported today?+
iaX supports LFA tests for a wide range of aquaculture pathogens including WSSV, AHPND/EMS (Vibrio), EHP for shrimp; ISA, IPN, Aeromonas, Vibrio for salmonids; Streptococcus, Flavobacterium, Edwardsiella for tilapia/carp; and harmful algal toxins, Vibrio spp., and microbial load for shellfish and water quality. Our test kit library is continuously expanding — contact us for the latest supported species and pathogens.
How long does a test take to run?+
Most lateral flow assays produce results within 10–20 minutes, depending on the specific test. The iaX reader then digitally reads and records the result in under 5 seconds. Total time from sample to cloud-stored result is typically under 25 minutes.
What’s the per-test cost and device pricing?+
Contact our team for current pricing. The iaX reader is available for purchase or as part of a managed service plan. Per-test costs vary by assay type and volume. We work with you to find a model that fits your operation and budget.
Can we export data for audits/buyers?+
Yes. All test results are securely stored in the AssayaDX cloud and can be exported as CSV or accessed via API. Data includes full traceability — timestamps, operator ID, device ID, batch/lot numbers, and geo-location — meeting the documentation requirements of auditors, buyers, and regulators.
How do you handle wet/harsh environments?+
The iaX reader is designed for field use with a durable, compact form factor. It is battery-powered and portable, suitable for use at pond-side, on boats, or at dock facilities. Proper sample handling protocols and standard operating procedures are provided to ensure reliable results in challenging field conditions.
What are the benefits of using lateral flow technology for environmental testing?+
LFAs are portable, easy-to-use, cost-effective, and provide quick results without specialized labs — ideal for remote, frequent, and diverse testing needs.
How is sample contamination or error minimized during onsite testing?+
Proper sample collection protocols, use of validated assays, and digital reading by iaX reduce human errors and improve data reliability.
How can I ensure compliance with environmental regulations?+
Using rapid, validated testing methods combined with digital data management helps meet regulatory standards, simplify reporting, and demonstrate due diligence.
What training is needed to perform tests using Assaya technology?+
The iaX platform is designed for ease of use with minimal training, enabling field personnel to perform tests accurately and confidently.
Who can benefit most from Assaya’s aquaculture testing solutions?+
Shrimp, fish, and shellfish farmers, hatcheries, feed companies, aquaculture consultants, government regulators, and buyers all benefit from faster, reliable onsite testing supported by Assaya’s platform.
