AGRICULTURE MADE SMARTER
Safeguard your harvest & optimize profit, with fast, on-farm lab-quality testing.
Benefit from the advanced capabilities of Assaya's iaX — a portable, intelligent analyzer that brings lab-quality testing to your farm. It quickly reads lateral flow assays to detect diseases, pests, and residues on the spot, helping you save your harvest, cut costs, and protect the environment.
TACKLING CROP CHALLENGES
Addressing crop health challenges with onsite rapid testing
Discover how iaX and lateral flow assays empower farmers to detect diseases early, manage pests effectively, and ensure crop quality and safety. Protecting yields and optimizing farm productivity.
Delayed Disease Detection
Slow lab tests cause late identification, reducing control chances. LFAs with iaX provide fast onsite results for quicker action
Pest and Pathogen Threats
Pests and diseases reduce yield and quality. LFAs detect them rapidly for targeted treatment
Pesticide and Residue Monitoring
Ensures safe pesticide use and compliance by detecting residues onsite
Soil and Environmental Stress
Hard to assess soil pathogens/contaminants; LFAs enable quick field testing
Variable Climate Conditions
Changing climates increase stress; LFAs with iaX offer real-time adaptive diagnostics
Supply Chain and Regulatory Demands
Need verifiable data for traceability and safety; rapid tests help meet standards
Limited Lab Access
Many farms far from labs; portable iaX and LFAs bring lab accuracy to the field
Economic Pressure
Rapid diagnostics reduce losses and unnecessary treatments, improving profitability
This combination empowers crop farmers with fast, reliable diagnostics to enhance decision-making, improve crop health, and protect farm productivity under the mounting pressures of modern agriculture.
FIELD-READY CROP DIAGNOSTICS
Onsite detection for these critical crop threats
Detect viruses, bacteria and blights, confirm GMO traits, and monitor storage toxins; all with lateral-flow tests read by iaX to guide isolation, treatment, and compliance in minutes.
