Collaborations
Brandeis University, USA
Since 2004, Smiths Detection has been working closely with the laboratory of Professor Larry Wangh at Brandeis University, near Boston, Massachusetts, which invented a novel DNA amplification and analysis technique called Linear After The Exponential PCR (LATE PCR).
Characterized by academic excellence since its founding in 1948, Brandeis is one of the country’s youngest private research universities and the only nonsectarian Jewish-sponsored college or university in the nation. Named for the late U.S. Supreme Court Justice Louis D. Brandeis, Brandeis combines the faculty and resources of a world-class research institution with the intimacy and personal attention of a small liberal arts college.

Institute for Animal Health, UK
Since 2005, Smiths Detection has been working with Dr Don King, Group Leader of Molecular Characterisation and Diagnostics at the Institute for Animal Health (IAH), Pirbright, UK. Dr King had this to say about our collaboration:
“Smiths Detection is actively collaborating with the Institute for Animal Health's global reference laboratory for foot-and-mouth disease to develop an assay to allow the rapid detection of FMD-infected animals in the field. This work has involved the development of a suitable assay format which will be validated when Smith's new platform technology is available in the near future. The results of this early pilot work have been presented at international conferences.”
