TUMIGlow™ Diagnostic Device
Your Solution for Hop Latent Viroid Diagnostic Testing
The TUMIGlow benchtop device is set to transform hop latent viroid (HLVd) diagnostic testing. This innovative device brings the power of TUMI Genomics' validated, accurate, and rapid science directly to your fingertips, providing a practical and dependable solution for on-site testing.
Hop Latent Viroid in the Cannabis Industry
Due to its negative effects on flower production, hop latent viroid (HLVd) poses a serious economic threat to cannabis growth. HLVd impacts cannabis cultivation across the United States and is present worldwide. 73% of the facilities we have tested are impacted by HLVd. Industry-wide prevention is essential to stop this disease.
Third-party testing can be time-consuming, costly, and logistically difficult. Complementing in-lab services with on-site testing can help you keep your operation running smoothly.
Current on-site technologies can suffer from complex procedures, poor accuracy, and low throughput, making their usefulness questionable.
The TUMIGlow Solution
A formula for success
Most on-site technologies on the market suffer from complex procedures, poor accuracy, and low throughput, making their usefulness questionable.
Our patent-pending chemistry and technology is the only on-site diagnostic assay on the market to support low-technology settings and simultaneous detection of multiple sequences in a single, closed tube.
TUMIGlow tests are simple to run, are stable at room temperature, and contain an internal control, meaning the visualization device can differentiate between a negative result and a failed test. While internal controls are not common among current onsite technology, this feature is necessary when designing tests to be run by non-scientists.
Advanced Technology for Hop Latent Viroid Testing
Glow technology is a molecular tool that identifies pathogens by detecting specific sequences of DNA/RNA. The specialized chemistry in Glow products allows accurate, sensitive results in your cultivation facility. The entire procedure is designed to operate without any additional lab consumables or technical expertise required and is validated with the same stringent standards required by USA regulatory bodies.
With its state-of-the-art technology, this device enables growers, researchers, and plant health professionals to detect and monitor HLVd with ease, efficiency, and precision.

Our Glow Technology uses specialized isothermal amplification to support low-technology settings. This technology supports a streamlined procedure that is intuitive and easy to use for facilities seeking on-site solutions. In about an hour, results are available that can direct informed decisions about crop health.
A combination of on-site pathogen testing and in-lab testing forms supports accurate pathogen diagnostics. On-site testing, exemplified by Glow Technology, offers rapid results tailored for high-volume facilities, providing timely insights into potential infections. In conjunction, in-lab testing delivers a gold-standard level of accuracy and comprehensive analysis. By combining these methods, organizations can harness the efficiency of on-site testing while benefiting from the precision of in-lab diagnostics.
This dual strategy maximizes both speed and accuracy, delivering a comprehensive approach to pathogen detection and enabling informed decision-making in various testing scenarios.

TUMIGlow’s user-friendly interface makes it accessible to both seasoned professionals and those new to molecular diagnostics. The intuitive design and simple operation of TUMIGlow streamlines the testing process, allowing you to focus on what matters most—your plants' health. With minimal training, you can swiftly obtain results that empower you to make informed decisions quickly.
Having the ability to perform diagnostic screening tests on your premises means no waiting for samples to be sent to a laboratory -potentially delaying crucial cultivation decisions. TUMIGlow allows you to take control of the testing process, saving time and accelerating your workflow by providing critical data needed to confidently move to the next stage of production.

Along with the power of accurate on-site pathogen detection, the TUMIGlow platform also provides intelligent data and insights. The visualization equipment is coupled with comprehensive software that is accessible using a computer, tablet, or cell phone.
Using high throughput testing, the software analyzes plant samples and organizes the results into a user-friendly, searchable platform. The combined test results, facility location, strain, and grow room produce an intuitive dashboard that graphically displays plant health. As data enters the system, software reports are updated, allowing cultivators to track diagnostic results over time throughout multiple facilities.
Regardless of facility size or the number of team members, consultants, and cultivators can have custom, actionable insights on pathogen mitigation at their fingertips.

Why Test with TUMIGlow™
Sensitive, accurate, and rapid results
To be effective at limiting the spread of pathogens, diagnostic assays need to identify low-level infections before they spread to other plants. TUMIGlow™ has been optimized to deliver unparalleled performance in early HLVd diagnosis.
While other available on-site detection technologies detect between 25%-35% of hop latent viroid infections**, TUMIGlow detects ~95% of true positive plants, making this on-site technology as sensitive as many qPCRs tests. Now growers can achieve lab-level detection sensitivity without complex equipment, expertise, or long wait times.
With extreme sensitivity, ease of use, and smart software, TUMIGlow is poised to revolutionize pathogen detection and mitigation in the cannabis industry.
