LexaGene was mentioned in this Forbes article as a solution provider tackling the challenge of improving food safety and reducing recalls.
Food companies are still hampered by the model of sending food test samples to outside labs to check for pathogens, with results coming back in 3-4 days. During that time, some products have already shipped, and if samples come back positive, this could trigger a recall.
LexaGene’s on-site testing analyzer means that food producers can see results in an hour’s time.
