After further optimization and validation, the approach could possibly offer an alternative to conventional culture-based screening methods that typically require three to five days. The bacteriophage amplification strategy, which was tested against Salmonella on chicken meat, could be adapted to detect other viable foodborne bacteria.
In this bonus episode of Food Safety Matters, we speak to NomadX CEO Lyle Probst about developments in pathogen detection, artificial intelligence, and industry mindsets are shaping the future of food safety management and incident response.
According to the company, the GENE-UP TYPER SLM assay specifically targets S. enterica, the subspecies most commonly associated with human salmonellosis and foodborne illness.
MagnaFlow is a new automated inline washwater analyzer that provides continuous, real-time visibility into the microbial loads present in post-harvest wash systems.
The detection system was able to detect the presence of foodborne pathogens in complex food matrices as little as three hours with 0 percent false positives, 94 percent recall, and 100 percent precision.
Automating the full pathogen detection workflow into a single device, the test can be operated with the press of a button and is designed for onsite use by non-specialists.
Bio-Rad Laboratories’ new EZ-Check Salmonella Kit is a rapid, polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based detection method for Salmonella in food and environmental matrices.
The new GENE-UP® TYPER solution from bioMérieux combines a PCR pathogen detection assay with a machine learning-based web application, facilitating root cause analysis of contamination incidents in the food industry.
Researchers have developed a 3D-printed, microfluidic chip sensor that uses light to rapidly detect important foodborne pathogens at concentrations as low as 10 CFU/ml.
On Demand: Join this webinar to explore a modern approach to decontamination that goes beyond surface-level cleaning to combat biofilm and persistent pathogens.
