About Us
At Lumen Pet Diagnostics, we are an Australian startup based in Docklands, Melbourne. Our mission is simple: to give pets a voice by providing early, reliable health insights—because they can’t always tell us when something is wrong.
Every year, countless pets suffer in silence. Cats and dogs have evolved to hide pain and illness as a survival instinct, which means that by the time owners notice visible symptoms, disease may already be advanced.
Studies show that in dogs, the most common causes of death include cancer (18.4%), heart disease (17.4%), and urinary disease (15.2%).
In cats, urinary disease (29.4%) and cancer (20.3%) are leading causes of mortality.
In Australia, research indicates that up to 37% of sudden pet deaths have no clear cause—highlighting how often illness goes undetected until it’s too late.
The reality is clear: early detection saves lives. But traditional veterinary tests are often slow, costly, and inconvenient. That’s where we come in.
Lumen Pet Diagnostics combines scientific innovation with compassionate care, making advanced health screening accessible, affordable, and fast—so pet owners can stay one step ahead of disease, and pets can enjoy longer, healthier lives.
Our Technology
Loop-mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP)
LAMP is a fast and reliable DNA testing method that offers the convenience of a simple swab with the accuracy of a full laboratory PCR test, developed in collaboration with scientists at Monash University.
LAMP delivers results in under 1 hour, while traditional PCR tests often take up to 2 days. That makes us over 95% faster—without compromising on accuracy.

Lab-level Accuracy
TVS Pro4 Animal Pathogen Analyzer (PetScan 4)
The TVS Pro4 Animal Pathogen Analyzer was developed by the medical research team at Monash University to make advanced science accessible to everyday pet care.
Powered by LAMP technology, this compact device can quickly detect common pet infections as well as zoonotic diseases—illnesses that can spread between animals and humans. Results are available in just a few hours, giving pet owners peace of mind without the wait.
By combining speed, accuracy, and convenience, the TVS Pro4 helps identify problems early, when they are easier to manage. It’s part of our mission to bring cutting-edge veterinary diagnostics out of the lab and into the hands of pet owners.
