We're also testing for respiratory pathogens in Philadelphia, Malaria and Ebola virus in Africa, Avian Influenza in Europe, veterinary targets in the Andes and Lyme disease in the US. Outside of health, we have partners in industrial quality control in a variety of markets, water monitoring, aquaculture, agriculture, conservation biology and more.
