Tuberculosis (TB) is a bacterial infection that mainly affects the lungs, causing a general state of illness, coughing and eventually death. Bovine tuberculosis (bTB) is caused by a particular bacterium that affects cows but can be passed on to practically all mammals, including humans. The usual route of infection is through the inhalation of infected dr...

This project funds the development of a low-cost lateral flow test reader to address a growing need for cost-effective and portable analysis of lateral flow tests. These tests are growing in popularity and application, not least in low-resource markets where the need for low-cost disease diagnosis is greatest. Current solutions to this need are too high t...

This project addresses the overall ISCF aim of Transforming Food Production by aiming to demonstrate the technical and commercial feasibility of Davlec's Automated Milk Sampling Device (AMSD) and Clarity's Lateral Flow (LF)Reader and test for progesterone in cow's milk. Providing an easy to use and cost-effective progesterone tests to work alongside the f...

This project will drive productivity in ruminant production systems by enhancing decision support with a precision livestock farming technology solution and system for the measurement of key biological indicators of herd nutritional and reproductive health. The project brings together Clarity Biosolutions' innovative lateral flow reader and test technolog...

This collaborative project aims to automate the existing ReproTel system, to allow it to be (retro-) fitted to existing and new (semi-)automated and robotic milking parlours. This project will drive productivity in ruminant production systems by enhancing decision support with a technology solution and system, and will deliver social, environmental and ec...

Tuberculosis (TB) is a persistent health problem in the UK and worldwide. There has been a steady increase of TB rates in the UK over the last three decades, with the disease burden now one of the highest in Europe. In 2013 the WHO reported that in India in 2012 2.8M active TB cases were diagnosed, with an estimate of 25.2M individuals with presumptive TB...

This collaborative project will develop powerful new tests and portable reading technology for farmers in the dairy industry to improve productivity for UK farmers, improve herd health and to deliver significant environmental benefits through the reduction in methane and ammonia emissions.

Modified Screening Guidance provided to the NHS removes the mandatory element of screening for MRSA. Commentary on the proposal from 4 hospital infection control groups suggest change away from universal screening can be expected to lead to a greater number of undetected MRSA patients, with a potentially greater transmission risk. This project develops Ki...

This application is for funding to support the development of a novel, portable and cost effective system for the detection of animal diseases pigs. These diseases have a significiant impact on animal health and represent a financial burden to countries worldwide. If funded, this project will deliver a magnetic sensor-based device and surveillance system ...

If successful, this grant application will fund the development of an instrument, consumable and a range of assays to detect pathogens in food which has the potential to accelerate the rate of detection and, in time, lead to the production of a portable device for sampling in the field. The technology promises a significant saving in the time it takes to ...

This project will produce a new measurement system that will rapidly detect antibiotic residues in meat. The system will bring together ultrasonic and magnetic technologies in a unique way so that, if present, the amount of antibiotic residues in a small sample of meat can be measured. Small magnetic particles are used to break up the meat sample, helped ...
