Horse trainer Daniel Redén at StallZet will conduct a pilot with LAMPlify®
Diagonal Bio AB (publ) (“Diagonal Bio” or “the Company”) has partnered with StallZet and Daniel Redén, one of Sweden's leading horse trotting training facilities, to conduct a pilot test using LAMPlify® to detect respiratory viral infections in StallZet’s trotters. The three-month agreement takes effect immediately.
The pilot test is set to provide faster and more accurate, point-of-care diagnostics, potentially leading to quick action to increase the well-being of StallZet’s trot training facility. StallZet manages over 190 horses and has a vast national and international network in the trotter and racehorse segment.
The collaboration with StallZet provides Diagonal Bio AB with a unique opportunity to expand the reach of its diagnostic platform, LAMPlify®. The renowned trainer and leader Daniel Redén at StallZet has long experience in trotting. Additionally, Daniel Redén and StallZet’s vast network of professionals—including veterinarians, trainers, and specialists—will not only offer key connections but also valuable insights, aiding in the broader international adoption of the platform within the equestrian sector.
The collaboration and pilot test with StallZet allow Diagonal Bio to strengthen its partnerships within this sector. It involves cooperation in both the horse training environment and the veterinary field, with a focus on supporting equestrian events. This initiative opens up a new potential market while enhancing horse welfare, as early detection of respiratory infections is vital for maintaining healthy horses.
"At StallZet, we are always striving to give our horses the best possible care. Working with Diagonal Bio offers a unique opportunity to enhance horse welfare by quickly identifying health issues and ensuring top-quality care even before the break-out. I really see a huge opportunity for the entire horse industry including the different associations internationally start using LAMPlify® to identify sick horses before entering racetracks or arenas, and to be able to isolate them at their home stables in order not to infect others"- Daniel Redén, trainer at StallZet

We believe our technology can make a significant impact, in horse welfare more broadly" - Karin Wehlin, CEO of Diagonal Bio AB (publ)
