In-Field Pathogen Testing in Under an Hour

Lab-grade pathogen detection, right in your field. No samples to ship. No waiting.

The Spray Window: The Decision that Determines the Whole Season

By the time lab results come back, your spray window has already closed. PathoScan gives you answers in under an hour. While you can still act on them.

From sample to result in under an hour

Collect a small tissue sample and process it using the guide in your PathoKit. No special equipment needed

Prep Your Sample

Place your prepared samples into the PathoBox and let it run. Plug it into your truck or a wall outlet.

Load the PathoBox

Get a clear positive or negative result. Make your spray decision today, not next week.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • The PathoBox is designed to be used wherever you are. It features the ability to plug into an automotive outlet for field use and a wall outlet for use at home or in the office.

  • It typically takes around two to three minutes to process a sample. The sample is then put into the PathoBox and results are ready in under an hour.

  • Yes. PathoScan uses LAMP, the same molecular detection technology labs use. The difference is where it runs, not how it works. Every PathoKit also includes optional free DNA sequencing on 4 samples of your choice so you can validate results against lab-grade confirmation.

  • We currently offer PathoKits for Sclerotinia, Fusarium graminearum, Fusarium oxysporum, Botrytis cinerea, and Aphanomyces euteiches. Custom assays are also available upon request.

  • No. Sample prep takes about 3 minutes following the step-by-step guide included with your PathoKit. Load it into the PathoBox, and results are ready in under an hour.

  • Same technology, different timeline. Labs use molecular detection to identify pathogens — so does PathoScan. The difference is you get results in under an hour, in the field, instead of waiting 5-10 business days. That means you can make your spray decision while the window is still open.
