Rapid infectious disease testing and diagnosis technology for animals
About Vet IMD
At VetIMD, our passion for animals and our unwavering commitment to their well-being drive everything we do. Our journey began with a simple yet profound realization: the world of veterinary diagnostics needed a transformation. We recognized the importance of swift, accurate, and cost-effective diagnoses for our beloved pets, wildlife, and farm animals.
Our mission is clear: revolutionising veterinary diagnostics, making it accessible and efficient for every veterinarian, pet owner, and animal lover. We believe that rapid and reliable diagnostics can change the lives of animals, the health of the environment, and the well-being of people.
Current Industry Methods
Every day, veterinarians are faced with the crucial task of diagnosing infectious diseases in animals. Whether it's our cherished pets, the wildlife in our ecosystems, or the livestock that sustain us, the health and well-being of these creatures are inextricably linked to our own health and the health of the environment.
Traditionally, vets have relied on sending samples to diagnostic laboratories to obtain reliable diagnostic information. However, this process is often time-consuming, taking several days, and it involves additional costs for packaging and transportation.

Add the sample to our diagnostic test

Place the test in our incubator and press ‘go’
The first isothermal reaction enriches the sample, targeting the nucleic acid sequence of interest. The second isothermal reaction results in exponential DNA production when the sequence of interest is present in the test mixture. Think of it as PCR, but faster and more efficient.
Our cutting-edge incubation device continuously monitors the reaction's progress in real-time. It then transmits this data to an accredited veterinary pathologist. The pathologist promptly assesses the data and sends an interpretative report back to the vet, all within the comfort of their clinic or practice. This entire process is electronic, and the results are delivered in under one hour from the time of sample collection.
Innovation at Our Core
In the heart of VetIMD lies innovation. Our state-of-the-art laboratory is at the forefront of veterinary diagnostics, harnessing the latest isothermal nucleic acid amplification technologies. We are not content with the status quo, which is why we continually pioneer creative new molecular methods to push the boundaries of animal pathogen detection.
We envision a world where veterinarians can obtain equally reliable, verified, and cost-effective test results in under an hour, eliminating the need to send samples away. Our vision is to empower veterinarians and pet owners with the tools and knowledge to make the best possible decisions for the animals they care for.
