SomaDetect gets funding

SomaDetect has received $3.9 million from Sustainable Development Technology Canada to test its in-line milk sensor technology.
The company, with offices in Canada and the U.S., is working to develop a system that uses a sensor in the milk line to automatically measure milk fat and protein, somatic cell count, progesterone and antibiotics.
“We  are thrilled to have SDTC join us and support the wild adventure that is SomaDetect,” said Bethany Deshpande, CEO of SomaDetect.
Her father figured out the basics behind the technology when the family was living in Guelph.

Lactanet (formerly CanWest DHI) is able to integrate this type of informations  under its electronic data capture system, so when SomaDetect is up and running, dairy farmers should be able to blend it into that system, said a spokesman for Lactanet.
