RAPID DIAGNOSTICS FOR HEALTHY HERDS
Transform your farm vet practice with fast, lab grade on-site testing
Assaya's innovative tools enable timely treatment decisions to improve herd health, enhance productivity, and reduce losses in farm and livestock operations.
STREAMLINING VETERINARY DIAGNOSTICS
Tackling the barriers to better veterinary diagnostics
Discover how iaX solves common veterinary hurdles from delayed results to inconsistent testing, enabling faster and more accurate care.
Delayed Detection of Infectious Disease Outbreaks
Slow lab results impede quick isolation and treatment measures essential to herd health.
Limited Onsite Testing in Remote or Field Conditions
Farms often lack easy access to labs or rapid diagnostic tools, complicating timely diagnosis.
Sample Degradation and Logistical Challenges
Transporting samples to labs can result in delays, loss, or compromised specimens.
Inconsistent or Error-Prone Manual Test Interpretation
Visual LFA readings may vary with staff skill and environmental factors.
Compliance and Reporting Difficulties
Managing regulatory requirements is harder without integrated digital data systems.
High Costs of Lab-Based Surveillance for Large Herds
Routine lab testing is expensive and impractical for frequent monitoring across large numbers of animals.
Limited Data Integration and Herd-Level Trend Analysis
Fragmented records prevent early warning and coordinated herd management.
Increasing Pressure to Detect Emerging Diseases Rapidly
Global animal movement and climate change demand faster, onsite diagnostics to minimize spread.

ANSWERS YOU NEED
Farm and Livestock Testing FAQs
Explore how onsite testing technology supports farm vets with faster, reliable disease detection and decision-making in the field.
What are iaX and lateral flow assays (LFAs), and how do they benefit farm and livestock vets?+
iaX is a portable analyzer that reads and quantifies lateral flow assays (LFAs), which are rapid diagnostic tests detecting specific pathogens or biomarkers onsite. These technologies enable early disease detection and timely treatment decisions right on the farm, minimizing delays, reducing disease spread, and improving herd health and productivity.
Which types of diseases and conditions can iaX and LFAs detect in farm animals?+
They can detect a broad range of infections such as bovine tuberculosis, paratuberculosis (Johne’s disease), brucellosis, foot-and-mouth disease, avian influenza, mastitis pathogens, respiratory infections, parasitic diseases, and markers of inflammation and immune response critical to early disease management.
How accurate and reliable are LFAs compared to laboratory tests?+
Modern LFAs combined with the iaX analyzer provide sensitive and specific results comparable to standard lab methods for many diseases. They are validated for onsite use, providing quick, actionable results to support clinical decisions, although complex cases might still require confirmatory lab testing.
How easy is it to integrate iaX and LFAs into a busy farm vet workflow?+
iaX devices and LFAs are designed for field use. They are portable, can operate on batteries, user-friendly, and require minimal training. The quick turnaround time and near instant result readout, with results in the cloud simplify testing and record-keeping, helping vets manage large herds efficiently without the need to send samples to distant labs.
Are all lateral flow assays available compatible with the iaX device?+
Not all LFAs are directly provided by Assaya, but many are available from trusted manufacturers. The iaX system can be qualified to read a wide variety of LFAs even if not originally designed for it, offering flexibility for vets to choose tests that best match their needs.
How do LFAs help with disease control and regulatory compliance in livestock operations?+
Rapid onsite testing enables early detection and containment of contagious diseases, reducing outbreak impact. It supports ongoing herd health monitoring and helps meet regulatory requirements by providing verifiable diagnostic data quickly, facilitating compliance with animal health standards.
What support and training are available for farm vets adopting iaX and LFAs?+
Assaya and partners typically offer training resources, manuals, and customer support to ensure vets and their teams can confidently use iaX and LFAs. Hands-on training and technical assistance help integrate these tools smoothly into farm workflows.
