A Problem of Testing

Though the food-borne pathogen testing market is approaching $9 billion worldwide, the time required for testing is lengthy (four to 30 hours) and expensive. Delays in testing results may lead to food-borne illness and recalls, which result in hundreds of millions of dollars in lost revenue and brand equity.

Market Overview

Every step in the value chain is currently required to wait on pathogen testing results for a product that has a very short shelf life, resulting in high expenses. Yet testing is required, and more than 600 million pathogen tests are performed annually. There is a substantial global demand in the pathogen testing market and the need is clear: a fast, easy-to-use, accurate, reliable, and portable system for food-borne pathogen detection.
