PolySkope Labs Applies for Regulatory Approval for World’s First Comprehensive Multiplex Detection Method in Food Safety
PolySkope Labs, a company that develops novel multiplex food safety assays, announced earlier this year that they have submitted for regulatory approval the world's first comprehensive multiplex pathogen detection method. PolySkope Labs has applied for AOAC Performance Tested Method status for the PolySkope 1.0 Pathogen Detection Method in a variety of matrices.

PolySkope's CSO, Michael Centola, says "We're thrilled to announce the regulatory submission and upcoming launch of the first true multiplex method in food safety. Our passion is translating our team's expertise in multiplex diagnostic assay development from the clinical space into food safety applications. PolySkope 1.0 will reduce the cost, materials, and complexity needed to make food safer."
