Zomedica Launches New Cortisol Assay for Equine Health on TRUFORMA Platform
Zomedica Corp. (NYSE:ZOM) ("Zomedica" or the "Company"), a veterinary health company offering diagnostic and therapeutic products for equine and companion animals, today announced the commercial launch of its second equine focused assay - Cortisol for equine serum - for the point-of-care TRUFORMA diagnostic platform.
"Cortisol measurement is crucial for assessing the health of sick foals and has never been available at the point of care until now," stated Dr. T.J. Barclay, a Professional Services Veterinarian for Zomedica. "Traditionally, equine veterinarians have had to send samples to reference labs and potentially wait several days for results - often receiving them too late to make critical treatment decisions. Our new assay will bring a valuable diagnostic tool for equine veterinarians to use in-clinic and stall-side, empowering them to make real-time, potentially life-saving treatment decisions."
The first days of a foal's life can be the most challenging, as illness during this time can cause a foal's health and survival chances to change rapidly. Equine veterinarians, especially those involved with reproduction, require the best diagnostic tools available at the point of care to assess and properly manage foal health. Being able to measure cortisol in foals in minutes, as opposed to days, could allow these veterinarians to make life saving decisions in situations where time and accuracy matter greatly. The TRUFORMA device, known for its compact, easy-to-use, and durable design, is perfectly suited for the unique challenges faced by equine practitioners.
