PathogenDx offers DNA-based testing via an advanced microarray testing platform for the cannabis, hemp, agriculture, food and beverage industries. Its technology can identify and detect up to 50 pathogens in a single test in about six hours, providing triplicate data per analyte for result certainty. The company sells DNA-testing products branded DetectX™, QuantX™ and EnviroX™ that identify, detect and quantify pathogens such as E. coli, Salmonella and Aspergillus. Led by CEO Milan Patel, PathogenDx serves a portfolio of domestic and international clients in the cannabis industry. The company raised $7.5M in a Series B to support expansion into food and agriculture testing and to build on its cannabis-market position. PathogenDx develops DNA-based pathogen testing kits and solutions for the cannabis, botanical, food, and agricultural markets. Founded in 2014 and headquartered in Tucson, Arizona, the company’s technology scales from individual plants to large agricultural fields. Its platform delivers real-time data to growers, processors, producers and ancillary service providers to detect fungi, molds, viruses and mildew. PathogenDx emphasizes simplicity, cost-effectiveness and adaptable scale for both large and small testing facilities. Management said a recent strategic investment from Salveo Capital will support growth, market expansion and continued focus on product safety.
