Mission
Simple and Rapid Diagnostic Tests for Aquatic Diseases
Aquaculture is rising to meet the nutritional needs of a burgeoning world population. Disease costs the industry billions in USD each year and challenges its ability to successfully meet this need.
Gaskiya Diagnostics offers low-cost, paper-based, easy-to-use diagnostic tests for disease detection. The colorimetric results are rapid, simple to interpret, and require no expertise or equipment.
By offering a simple-to-use technology, we put the power of diagnosis directly into the hands of aquaculture farmers as well as aquarists, hobbyists, and technicians at laboratories without extensive equipment.
Faster diagnosis leads to faster treatments, fewer losses, and more food for the world.

Technology
Gaskiya’s platform technology uses bioengineered capture proteins to bind target analytes with a high degree of sensitivity and specificity. The capture proteins can bind peptides, small molecules, and nucleic acids, facilitating the detection of a variety of disease types. An array of sample types can be tested and small to large sample volumes accommodated. The bioengineered capture proteins are thermally stable and yield consistent and easy-to-interpret detection of disease targets. They are being incorporated into user-friendly, field-use diagnostic tests.
