About your innovation
A rapid Listeria mono detection test providing accurate results within 4 minutes of taking an environmental swab delivering trust to the chilled food supply chain.
What motivated you to build a startup in this sector?
Listeria (and other pathogens) cause great harm across society every year. We have the opportunity to create a global pathogen detection platform. our handheld system delivers ultra-accurate detection of dangerous pathogens, including Listeria, E. coli, Salmonella, Cholera, and Norovirus, in just 4 minutes, with no heating, no lab, and no training required. A simple swab, a small vial of consumables, and an instant readout: this is real-time biosecurity made portable.
