PortaScience Penetrates Markets in Southern Hemisphere

Client Profile

PortaScience Inc. was founded in 1999 to develop easy-to-use, portable diagnostic tests for both the human and animal markets. Its founder and President, Wai Tak Law, Ph.D., has over 20 years experience in designing disposable platforms for point-of care diagnostic tests. Headquartered in Moorestown, NJ, PortaScience brings together a highly skilled and experienced group of scientists and engineers who develop and manufacture truly unique state-of-the-art diagnostic products. So far, PortaScience has been granted three patents and has licensed out three tests. One of these tests will have a national release in June at major drugstores nationwide. In 2004, PortaScience formed a new division, PortaCheck, to produce and market tests to the dairy industry. The first test marketed by this group has gained rapid acceptance and is now sold in over 15 countries worldwide.

The Experience

Pursuant to research by the international trade specialist for New Jersey, the World Trade Center of Greater Philadelphia awarded PortaScience an International Trade Assistance Grant to participate in a trade show, the New Zealand Agricultural Fieldays, in Hamilton, New Zealand, June 2005. This was a perfect program for PortaScience, as this show with over 115,000 visitors is the premier agribusiness event in the southern hemisphere. The company's objective was to launch its PortaSCC® milk test, an on-farm somatic cell test for sub-clinical mastitis screening in the dairy herd, in New Zealand and Australia. As a result of PortaScience's attendance at the show, the company has identified potential distributors and already sold its product in both markets. It is currently working with many distributors around the world and preparing to enter the Mexican market.
