Diagnostic. Wherever. Whenever.
RAPID combines stick-based DNA extraction with LAMP at the farm. Tests for shrimp and ASF in pigs are available now.
Informed decisions require accurate and timely information.
Farming is a business of decisions — when to stock, when to treat, when to harvest. Every one of those decisions depends on knowing what's happening in your ponds right now. Without correct and timely diagnostic information, you're guessing. And guessing costs harvests.

Your farm, pond by pond.
RAPID test results sync directly into Aotomatic, Forte Biotech's free farm management platform. Log results by pond, track disease history, and share across your team. Available on iOS and Android.
Disease tracking by pond
Every RAPID test result logs automatically, organised by pond, date, and pathogen. Your full farm history in one place.
Spot patterns before they spread
Tracks results across your grow-out cycle and flags when something looks off, before it becomes a loss.
Your farm's AI advisor
Describe what you're seeing in text, voice or a photo. Aotomatic knows your pond and can suggest possible diseases, how serious they look, what to do next and which test to run. It can also find your past records.
