Researchers Evaluate Challenges Associated with Microbial Monitoring
The njp Science of Food journal recently published an article about handheld DNA sequencing devices for monitoring environmental factors in food factories.
The study was completed by scientists from the Teagasc food research program and APC Microbiome Ireland's Scientific Foundation Ireland Research Centre, and it looked at using portable DNA sequencers as a routine microbial monitoring tool in food production facilities. Funding was provided by the Department of Agriculture, Food, and the Marine.
