Pullidex Analyzer
The Pullidex Analyzer is a small, one-button constant-temperature heater. It holds the test reaction at the temperature it needs inside a single-use cartridge with an enclosed test strip. It is not a PCR thermal cycler or a digital result reader.
How you read a result
You read the lines on the cartridge’s test strip yourself, using the test’s instructions. The Analyzer does not have a screen and does not interpret the lines for you. The strip is the readout; the heater runs the reaction.
Which test comes first?
The first assay being developed is for Marek’s disease in chickens. Sample preparation, instructions, result interpretation, and accuracy details will be shared after validation is completed. More pathogen tests are planned, but are not yet available.
Vaccination matters: The Marek’s target can also detect the CVI-988/Rispens vaccine strain, so a positive result cannot distinguish that vaccine strain from a field strain. It does not target the HVT or SB-1 vaccine strains. Validation is still underway.
Purchase options
- Pullidex Analyzer, $599: 1 device. Marek’s tests are sold separately.
- Marek’s Test, $15 each: additional tests for use with the Analyzer. These are development-stage preorders and are not available to run yet.
Development and shipping
The device and Marek’s assay are in development with our manufacturing partner and have not completed validation. Your preorder reserves a place in the initial production batch. There is no confirmed shipping date. I’ll keep preorder customers updated as development progresses.
