Pathogen Technology Drives Higher Resolution In Food Safety Testing
2016-01-06 12:10:39| dairynetwork Downloads
By Mary Duseau, SVP and Chief Commercial Officer, Roka Bioscience Higher resolution can bring dramatic change in the discovery and understanding of the world around us. One great example is the recent pictures sent back from the New Horizons spacecraft. As recently as five years ago, Pluto was a pixelated gray dot with no definition. In 2006, NASA launched the New Horizons Spaceship knowing that the investment would not pay off for another decade. The recent pictures of Pluto have provided resolution of the atmosphere and landscape never thought possible. This same paradigm can be applied to food safety. With recent advances in sequencing, macro-biome profiling, food identification, and, of course, pathogen technology, the industry has a tremendous resource of tools at its fingertips. A critical tool often ignored for a number of reasons are the advanced options for pathogen detection. Pathogen detection plays a pivotal role in any food safety process. While significant investments can be made in easier-to-sanitize manufacturing equipment, development of preventative control programs, and training/re-training personnel, the effectiveness of these, and other preventative measures, is only as good as the performance of the pathogen test method used to verify. Therefore, the pathogen testing program is the lens by which these programs are monitored. This lens needs to offer a rapid, sensitive, and accurate picture of the environment, process, and product to allow for effective mitigation and an overall improvement in preventative control.

Luminex's NxTAG Respiratory Pathogen Panel obtains FDA clearance
2015-12-20 18:12:23| Biotech - Topix.net
Luminex Corporation today announced that it has received FDA clearance for its NxTAG Respiratory Pathogen Panel that detects 20 clinically relevant viral and bacterial respiratory pathogens, including the atypical bacteria Chlamydophila pneumoniae and Mycoplasma pneumonia . The panel is the only respiratory assay that enables laboratories to easily and simultaneously detect 20 respiratory pathogens in a single closed tube system in a format that scales to accommodate changes in throughput needed to respond to seasonal changes in demand, especially during flu season.
