Protect Consumers with Robust Product Safety by Enabling Rapid Methods for Food, Beverage and Hygiene Testing 

Food and beverage safety is paramount in preventing contamination and ensuring consumer trust. FluidPrep technologies expedite pathogen and spoilage organism detection through rapid concentration methods, reducing or eliminating incubation times for same-shift results. From raw ingredients, to beverages, homogenized and finished products and environmental samples, our solutions allow you to bypass or significantly reduce typical culture enrichment times, enabling reliable same-shift results needed to meet industry standards and protect public health. Ensuring the safety of the food supply chain is a complex challenge, but our innovative tools make it easier to detect and mitigate potential risks.

Scientific Information

Microbial Contamination Testing of Frozen Vegetables Rinses Using the Concentrating Pipette™

“Our findings suggest that the InnovaPrep concentration pipette system is effective for water-based food systems, including process water, vat rinses, food processing-related equipment rinses, produce wash water, and water/buffer-suspended surface/air samples coming out of food processing plants.”

Scientific Information

Concentration of Spoilage Organisms in Beer & Wine for Same Shift Results

This poster highlights the Concentrating Pipette's ability to concentrate spoilage organisms from beer and wine with 1000X - 2000x concentration factors. This enables high assay sensitivity for same shift quality results. Demonstrating the ability to reduce time, labor, and costs with the ability to release product in the same day.

Scientific Information

CP Select™ Provides a 35% Time Reduction for Hepatitis A and Norovirus Testing from Fresh and Frozen Produce Compared to the ISO Method

To improve detection methods for hepatitis A and Norovirus on fresh and frozen produce, Scientists employed the Concentrating Pipette (CP) method and compared it with the ISO 15216-1:2017 reference method for food safety testing which enabled detection as few as10² genomes, and gave equivalent results on most food matrices tested, namely strawberry, blackberry, lettuce, and green onion with a 35% time savings.

what sets us apart

ease of use
