Control
In situ molecular diagnostics for clinics, veterinary practice, farms and food producers. Control answers whether a pathogen is present. Control Pro answers how severe.
Request access
Laboratory grade molecular testing, at the point of care.
Molecular results in clinic
A 16 module Control returns 16 results in a single cycle. No send out, no reference laboratory, no waiting days for an answer.
Any species, no exceptions
Equine, canine, feline, avian, swine, bovine, ovine, aquaculture, exotics and human. If it is biological, an assay can be built for it from scratch in six weeks.
Two steps, no pipetting
Transfer the sample into the cartridge and insert it. The QR code carries assay identity, program and lot.
No cold chain
Vitrified reagents stored 2 to 30 °C and validated for ambient transport to 30 °C for 15 days.
New assays in six weeks
A fixed cartridge architecture means a new validated target in six weeks. If the pathogen matters to you and is not on the menu, it can be.
Antibiotic resistance
Control Pro reads resistance markers alongside the pathogen, so treatment is chosen on genotype rather than guessed, and stewardship is measurable.
Population surveillance
Every instrument is IoT connected and reports de-identified results into a territory surveillance dashboard.
Two instruments. One cartridge architecture.
Control answers whether a pathogen is present. Control Pro answers how severe, and across up to 24 targets at once. Both run the same sealed single use cartridge, and both are operated in two steps at the instrument.

71 assays, and counting.
Every assay runs on the same cartridge and the same instrument. A new validated target takes six weeks, so the menu grows with the pathogens you actually face.

Your results stay yours.
Every instrument holds 200,000 records on the device and connects directly to the Wallace app. Administrator and operator roles carry per user permissions on export and print, so a result leaves the instrument only when you say so.
Surveillance reporting is de-identified. Territory level disease monitoring runs alongside individual case diagnosis without exposing the patient, the herd or the producer behind the sample.
Where data cannot leave the site at all, Wallace deploys a Silicon Cortex datacentre on your premises. It runs localised AI models against your own results, so storage and inference both stay inside your walls, under your jurisdiction. Sovereignty becomes a matter of physical location rather than policy.
