More Information
Summary:Provided are novel methods for screening and testing for pathogens in food, water, and bodily fluids using methods that are faster to complete than conventional methods of culturing and plating that require lengthy times in properly equipped labs. The invention utilizes specific, rapid and sensitive optical detection to capture small concentrations of the target bacteria and render them amenable for detection with various specific synthesis binding agents approaches. The technique merges capture and detection steps with quantification unit suitable to provide results in a relatively shorter time current detection methods.
