Acumen Detection promotes wellbeing on dairy farms. Early detection with Acumen reagents enables dairies to produce better milk while improving animal welfare and business outcomes. Acumen Detection is used by milk laboratories, veterinarians and on-farm by dairy producers who want the best for their herds. Acumen has its roots in Central New York dairy country… using technology adapted from American military operations halfway around the world. During Operation Desert Storm, the US Army developed portable, early-detection systems that could save the lives of troops under chemical or biological attack. In 2015, Acumen was formed when it became apparent that this breakthrough pathogen-detection technology could revolutionize the way dairy farmers protect the health of their herds.Acumen Detection worked with researchers at Cornell University to develop innovative reagents and incorporate Real-Time PCR for detection that is specific, sensitive and rapid. We also introduced the Acu-POLARIS (Portable Onsite Laboratory And Rapid Identification System), empowering producers to make faster, more informed management decisions. The Acu-POLARIS is provided by third-party, Seneca Data. Acumen sells reagents and provides training and customer support for reagents and the Acu-POLARIS.Acumen Detection Inc. has five patents. Our reagents are manufactured in the USA. We sell our products to dairy producers, veterinarians, and milk laboratories in the US, Canada and Panama through a distribution channel that includes Veterinarian's Outlet, IBA, Diamond City Farm Supply, Leedstone and Dairy Farmers of America."
