The study showed excellent agreement between the LAMPlify® assays and qPCR tests, yielding identical positive/negative classifications between the methods. The samples were selected by Centre for Diagnostics, DTU (Danmarks Tekniske Universitet), among the ones submitted for diagnostic examination at the Veterinary Institute. In total, four PRRSV1 positive, one PRRSV2 positive and eight SIV positive samples were included in this study.

“This specificity of the LAMPlify® assays is crucial for accurate diagnostics, ensuring their reliability in various testing scenarios. The pilot study demonstrated high specificity, with no cross-reactivity observed with non-target samples or the negative control. Each assay reliably detected its respective target virus—PRRSV1, PRRSV2, or SIV—without generating false positive results from other samples.”

“Furthermore, at the Centre for Diagnostics, we have found the LAMPlify® platform to be highly user-friendly. The ease of use, combined with the robust performance of the assays, makes LAMPlify® an excellent choice for laboratories seeking reliable and efficient diagnostic tools,” - Helene Larsen Head of Centre for Diagnostics at DTU Health Tech.

Helene Larsen highlighted the LAMPlify® platform’s intuitive design and straightforward protocol, which facilitate seamless integration into existing workflows. This minimizes training time and reduces the potential for user error. Overall, the LAMPlify® assays provide a dependable and practical solution for detecting PRRSV1, PRRSV2, and SIV, supporting both research and clinical applications with high accuracy and ease of use.

“Diagonal Bio has once again demonstrated impressive results and this time in a different market segment of swine diseases. These results reinforce our confidence in the strength and reliability of our platform. Testing is extremely important to breeders to avoid adverse effects on production and minimize economic losses. I am incredibly proud of the new results and look forward to our continued journey in animal welfare,” – Karin Wehlin, CEO Diagonal Bio AB (publ)
