Diagonal Bio announces pilot test with LAMPlify® at Kolgjini Stables
Diagonal Bio AB (publ) ("Diagonal Bio" or "the Company") announces a partnership with Kolgjini Stables (Stall Kolgjini), founded by renowned harness racer Lutfi Kolgjini, to conduct a three-month pilot test. Kolgjini Stables is a Swedish stable known for its expertise in growing horses for both breeding and for top-tier national and international competition. This pilot test starts immediately and aims to evaluate the potential of the LAMPlify® platform to provide rapid and accurate virus detection in horses.
Kolgjini Stables, led by Lutfi Kolgjini, is a prominent player both in harness racing and horse breeding. The facility, located near Lund holds up to 180 horses. The large number of horses in proximity makes rapid virus detection especially critical to prevent the spread of infections within the stables. A rapid diagnostic method allows breeders to promptly isolate infected horses, proactively safeguarding their animals' health and minimising the risk of transmission.
The pilot test at Kolgjini Stables is part of Diagonal Bio's ongoing strategy to commercialise the LAMPlify® solution aimed at horse breeders seeking solutions to prevent the spreading of viruses. The result of this pilot test will help ensure that LAMPlify® effectively meets the specific needs of the horse breeding and racing industry.
“Fast and accurate virus detection can make a huge difference in protecting our horses and ensuring a safe environment at our facility. We look forward to evaluating how the LAMPlify® platform can support proactive measures to protect our horses from potential risks,” - Dante Kolgjini, harness racer at Kolgjini Stables with three V75 victories in 2023.
“Just as with competitive horses, breeding involves significant investments and requires dedication, expertise, and a strong commitment to animal welfare. We are proud to collaborate with esteemed facilities like Kolgjini Stables in their efforts to uphold these high standards,” - Karin Wehlin, CEO of Diagonal Bio AB (publ).
