January 21, 2019
LINDON, Utah–(BUSINESS WIRE)–lt;a href=”https://twitter.com/hashtag/AI?src=hash” target=”_blank”gt;#AIlt;/agt;–Techcyte, a leading developer of AI-based image analysis solutions for
the diagnostics industry, has launched Vetcyte, an AI-powered digital
diagnostics platform at VMX 2019. Initially, the Vetcyte platform
supports the following canine-and-feline diagnostic tests:
- 10-minute Fecal Ova and Parasite
- 10-minute Digital 6-part Blood Differential
- Same-day FNA analysis (through a collaboration with ZN Labs)
“The Vetcyte AI-based image analysis platform is the future of digital
diagnostics in the veterinary industry. Whether you are running a small
veterinary clinic or a large lab, the Vetcyte platform gives you fast,
accurate results and significantly lowers your costs!” said Ben Cahoon,
COO of Techcyte.
The Vetcyte platform is a complete solution for sample preparation,
scanning, analysis, and reporting. For the preparation of fecal samples,
the system includes the Vetcyte ParaPro, a no-mess device that uses a
non-toxic Apafix float solution. The ParaPro device can be used with
either a passive or centrifugal float process.
Techcyte has collaborated closely with Motic Instruments to image the
veterinary samples for AI analysis. With the click of a button, blood
and fecal samples are automatically scanned, uploaded to Vetcyte, and
analyzed using Vetcyte’s advanced deep-learning image analysis
technologies.
Through its collaboration with ZN Labs, the Vetcyte digital pathology
platform quickly connects veterinarians to experts for same-day FNA
analysis. The system can also be used to connect to experts at ZN Labs
for secondary opinions on parasites and blood results.
With Vetcyte, veterinarians:
-
Virtually eliminate the mess of fecal tests with a patented ParaPro
prep system -
Improve patient satisfaction by delivering accurate results within 10
minutes -
Digitally connect veterinary technicians with lab experts at ZN Labs
for consultations
The Motic scanner, ParaPro device, and Vetcyte tests can be purchased
directly from Techcyte. The Vetcyte tests are priced per test and can be
purchased in packs to receive volume discounts.
