Bacteria detector set to scale up for food industry
(sticK - 2 July 2013 ) I’m always a bit of a sucker for innovations and improvements that add value to our biological industries.
After all, as a country we’d be fools not to play to our major strength in producing food and fibre.
An innovation’s appeal is also greatly increased when it solves a problem – and in this particular case it is instantly identifying the presence of bacteria in food products.
It’s one reason I’m keen on seeing Veritide’s real-time, non-contact bacterial scanner gain more traction.
