Fluxergy: EQUINE

The first point-of-care PCR platform for equine medicine. Redefining equine stall-side testing by building better biosecurity and diagnostics to improve patient care.

Hurdles in the Equine Industry

22-05-03-orange-clock

Long PCR Wait Times

PCR results can take 3 days, sometimes 1 week, depending on location. Logistics will always be a roadblock.

22-05-03-orange-device

Limited On-Site Space, Too Many Devices

Equine referral hospitals used an average of 6 different diagnostic systems, limiting counter space and increasing overhead.

Economic Loss Due to Outbreaks

More than 100 outbreaks in 2021 and 2022. Shutdowns across shows and barns result in millions of dollars of total revenue.

Limited Diagnostics for Mobile Practices

80% of ambulatory veterinarians send out a majority of their laboratory tests.

“I learned of Fluxergy’s technology when I was at Boehringer Ingelheim, and I was impressed about the opportunity for this pointof- care testing platform. I am happy to be involved on Fluxergy’s advisory board where I can bring my 20+ years of animal health and R&D experience. One of the big advantages of Fluxergy’s technology is that it is very easy to use. When veterinarians see horses with high fevers, its important that they can understand quickly what is going on.”

“Having the capability to detect Streptococcus equi equi stall-side is an exciting step forward for equine diagnostic testing. The point-of-care PCR platform provides acceptable PCR performance when compared to traditional lab methods and provides an opportunity to save shipping costs and time for veterinarians.”

"The most exciting thing is that I can turn a stall around in 18 hours and feel very comfortable that my stall is clean and safe to put another horse in. Being able to get that answer quickly is beautiful."
Dr. Ben Buchanan, DVM, DACVIM, DACVECC

"Fluxergy's platform has the capability to change how we handle strangles cases. Being able use PCR to test for S. equi with an hour with a simple workflow will allow me to offer a result immediately to my client and justify where the patient goes or doesn't go. If they can add additional pathogens to create a respriatory panel, then even better. Our practice has been watching Fluxergy's technology grow from an early stage startup and are happy to support innovation that will help our industry."
