Shrimp MultiPath2.0 detects 18 pathogens in a single test including the most economically damaging
Shrimp MultiPath2.0 testing detects & differentiates between additional genetic subvariants of major pathogens
Shrimp MultiPath2.0 includes control tests to validate DNA & RNA integrity
Genics tests yield quantified infection severity data & are run in high replication to optimize accuracy
Genics test data is encrypted & delivered directly to our clients for their exclusive use
Shrimp MultiPath2.0 sample collection systems are easy to use on the farm
The Shrimp MultiPath2.0 advantage
Early pathogen detection is essential to prevent destructive shrimp disease outbreaks. Shrimp usually harbor multiple pathogens at any given time, so a rigorous surveillance testing regime is essential.
Machine learning and artificial intelligence continually refine Genics’ detection accuracy and fidelity, even with very low levels of pathogens.
DNA and RNA controls are applied to every Shrimp MultiPath2.0 sample, setting Genics’ quality control well above industry standards. This is mission-critical for shrimp, which contain PCR inhibitors such as chitin.
Genics has the fastest laboratory report turnaround time in the business, so farmers can act quickly on test results.
Genics’ unique GPS delivery tracking service allows you to track every step of your hassle-free shipping experience for our Shrimp MultiPath2.0 premium customers.
Shrimp MultiPath2.0 sets the industry standard for certainty by checking specimens for each pathogen with 10 replicates.

Shrimp MultiPath2.0 is your early warning system against disease
Genics Shrimp MultiPath2.0 alerts you to the presence of pathogens weeks before your shrimp show the first signs of being sick, preventing costly stock losses.
In the case of infectious hypodermal and hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHHNV), Shrimp MultiPath2.0 can increase farm gate value by up to US$52,000.00 per hectare*.
For devastating pathogens like white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) and Infectious myonecrosis virus (IMNV), Shrimp MultiPath2.0 can prevent the loss of an entire harvest.

18 Pathogens Detected*
*The performance of Shrimp MultiPath2.0 has been tested by an independent laboratory against DNA and RNA clinical samples (i.e. tissue from sick animals); the WOAH-OIE recommended real-time PCR assay and the newly adapted CSIRO real-time PCR assay in an empirical assessment for this study. It was assessed for repeatability, sensitivity, and specificity on Bayesian latent class models using real-world L. vannamei tissue samples.

What do our clients say about Genics?
“With the aim of increasing shrimp production on our farms in Indonesia and better understanding the health of our shrimp, I turned to Genics for testing using Shrimp MultiPath2.0. After a simple tissue sampling process, our samples were sent to Australia with test results ready within 48 hours of receiving the samples in the lab. The results helped our team understand how we can further improve animal health, leading to stronger and disease-resistant shrimp in future harvests. Also, a bonus is the data showing that we can improve water quality management on our farms, leading to healthier shrimp.” – Mr. Joko Sasongko, Chairman, PT. Noerwi Aqua Farm – Indonesia
