The BioPrep and The BioSage
The BioPrep
An automated whole food sample preparation device, that extracts and purifies DNA from any food or liquid sample. This device can be used a stand alone unit or can be integrated with PCR technology to create the BioSage.
The BioSage
The BioPrep combined with automated real-time isothermal PCR for detecting and identifying multiple plant, animal, or zoonotic bacteria at the same time in the field, processing plant, or laboratory. The BioSage is a turnkey device that prepares and analyzes a food sample for food borne illness within 3 hours. By combining automated sample preparation with sophisticated contaminant detection and analytics (PCR), the BioSage offers an effective and rapid means of identifying contaminants at their earliest possible point, on-site, anywhere in the food chain, before reaching consumers. The BioSage is a rapid detection system that can be used for any type of animal or plant sample including liquids such as milk and meat juice, meat tissue, fruits, and vegetables.
