Our team is implementing a unique project on a global scale, the aim of which is to develop and market the world’s first rapid test to detect udder pathogens in cows.
Mastitis affects up to half of the world’s dairy cow population every year, causing huge losses, reaching 16-26 billion euros per year. Developed as part of the project, a quick and easy-to-use immunochromatographic test will allow to diagnose the microorganisms responsible for infection in just a dozen or so minutes and use targeted and effective antibiotic therapy.
Lymphomas and leukemia account for more than 30% of cancers diagnosed in dogs. Current diagnostic methods are expensive and long-lasting, so in cooperation with prof. Andrzej Rapak from the Institute of Immunology and Experimental Therapy. Ludwik Hirszfeld PAN in Wrocław and prof. With Arkadiusz Miążek from the University of Life Sciences in Wrocław, we are introducing a simple and quick strip test to be performed in veterinary practice, which will definitely accelerate the diagnosis.
However, we do not stop only at the diagnosis – we want to use our research to create the most modern, biological anti-cancer drug for dogs.
Our laboratory is the only place in Poland and in this part of Europe where you can produce rapid diagnostic tests. We have production capacity to obtain up to 1,500 tests per hour.
We create solutions of various types – strip tests, immunochromatographic, immunofluorescent detecting not only the presence, but also the amount of various types of pathogens, such as bacteria, viruses and parasites.
We are working on the commercialization of the test to detect bee infection with the spore Nosema ceranae, which contributes to the mass extinction of the honey bee. Colony Collapse Disorder, (CCD). The main features of this test, developed by the BioScientia team, are sensitivity, affordable price and ease of execution.
