The Antibody Company (TAC) has expertise in point of care diagnostics for the aquaculture and brewing industries, which both suffer significant product losses. Current diagnostics for these industries are prohibitively expensive and take too long allow immediate mitigation. TAC combined their expertise in antibody design and production with Dr. Mulheran and his team’s skills in antibody conjugation to design a cheap and effective lateral flow device (LFD).
