Advancing diagnostics for animal health
Welcome to ZYTCA
Fast, reliable and accurate point-of-care real-time PCR tests under 30 minutes.
Revolutionising the way of diagnosing and monitoring animal diseases.
ZYTCA for Animal Health
Previously a team of Oxford Scientists that developed ground-breaking ultra-rapid tests for COVID-19, we are bringing this advanced technology into animal diagnostics.
We believe fast and robust point-of-care tests will completely change the way we manage animal health and well-being. With the rise of zoonotic diseases such as COVID-19, the importance of having real-time access to diagnostic results is rapidly rising. Traditional lab-based tests with a turnaround time of days, delays access to information and potentially faster treatment for our pets and animals in our care. ZYTCA is revolutionising the industry with our ultra-rapid animal diagnostic tests.
The Ulfa POC Test
-
Hand-held portable device.
-
Qualitative results in 30 minutes.
-
No DNA/RNA extraction is required.
Our team has engineered a user-friendly qualitative diagnostics system integrating isothermal PCR with lateral flow immunoassay technology. The Ulfa POCT can precisely amplify specific pathogen gene regions directly from various samples, including whole blood, swabs, and environmental specimens. This innovation delivers rapid, dependable, and precise outcomes in less than 30 minutes, eliminating the need for costly or complex laboratory apparatus. This breakthrough makes advanced diagnostic capabilities accessible and convenient, revolutionizing animal disease surveillance and monitoring outside laboratories.
Test kit available: ASFV, FHV, Leishmania...
UlfaQ™ In-clinic Real-time PCR
-
DNA/RNA extraction in 5-8 minutes.
-
Quantitative results in 30-40 minutes.
-
Automatic report generation
-
Portable device
UlfaQ™ represents a groundbreaking advancement in real-time PCR technology, transforming the landscape of laboratory diagnostics with its application directly on farms and in veterinary clinics. Developed by ZYTCA, this innovative approach features a distinctive anti-inhibitor qPCR assay designed to function optimally with roughly extracted DNA/RNA. This ensures that the integrity of sensitivity and specificity is maintained, setting a new standard in the field by combining convenience with uncompromised performance.
