Thank you for your interest in dxAquaria! We rely on feedback from YOU to make our products both reliable and easy to use.
Please fill out the form – we will reach out with more information soon. Everyone who submits a form will be added to our company newsletter with access to exclusive deals and updates on product development.
Note that submitting a form does not guarantee you a position as a Beta tester and does not obligate you to participate. Beta testing is an “opt-in” event as needed by the company, and you will have the opportunity to agree to testing terms and conditions at a later date.
All selected Beta testers will receive discounts on every personal test purchased after product launch!
Beta Opt-In ends January 10, 2025, and Beta testers will be contacted and selected by February 1, 2025.
What is Beta testing?
dxAquaria is launching its Beta program using its foundational product, the Marine Ich and Velvet detection kit. The Beta program allows for users to receive introductory* test kits at a reduced price, use the product, and provide feedback on product workflow and simplicity. Since the product was designed with the hobbyist in mind, hobbyist input is critical in device success and performance.
From mid-December 2024 to mid-January 2025, anyone who is interested in testing the product and providing feedback on workflow and results may sign up. The company will then reach out to the potential users to confirm interest and provide a payment link for the cost of the Beta kit ($20) plus shipping and handling to your home/place of product use. Selected users will then receive the kit with the expectation that they will use the product within a 2-month timeframe (February-March 2025) and provide any feedback to dxAquaria using a provided form. If any unintended results appear (false positives, false negatives, etc), dxAquaria will reach out to the specific user to investigate the issue. As a thank you for Beta participation, successful participants will receive a discount on their first purchase and subsequent test(s) (and maybe even some dxAquaria swag!).
Beta testing provides dxAquaria with critical information regarding device applicability, workflow, and safety. Since many of these diseases are deadly to marine livestock, it is incredibly difficult to come across “positive” samples; finding folks who own actively infected marine aquariums who are also willing to try a product can be like finding a needle in a haystack. The Beta program provides users with kits that can be used on aquariums that are actively infected with the target organisms or are known to be free of infection. While it’s incredibly important that positive samples produce positive results, it’s equally or more important that the test does not produce false positive results when testing negative aquariums.
*Introductory does not mean ineffective! In-house validation experiments such as product stability studies take time and will extend through/past Beta testing; we will not make product claims without fully vetting out product shelf-life, usefulness, and safety. Beta testing will be a strong component of the development and validation process. We want to provide you with simple tests for confident results you can trust – that’s our promise to you.
