We are pleased to announce more R&D funding for pathogen detection within the apiculture industry. Ministry for Primary Industries invests $150k in DNAiTECH’s ongoing programme to develop apiculture diagnostics through the Sustainable Food and Fibre Futures fund. We are creating the assays, the microfluidic devices, and the hardware so that beekeepers can test for the disease at the hive.
