Ag-Defense Systems

 Ag-Defense Systems was founded to develop portable, user-friendly foodborne illness testing technology.  This technology will perform both sample preparation of the food sample and testing of the prepared food sample for common foodborne pathogens such as E. coli, Salmonella, and Listeria. 

The company has performed initial testing on a preliminary prototype and is seeking funding to engineer a commercial prototype for testing. Successful business execution of Ag-Defense Systems will allow follow-on-products to be produced for other markets.

Subsequently, an umbrella corporation will be formed, Defense Diagnostics, with subsidiary companies (Ag-Defense Systems, Med-Defense Systems, Vet-Defense Systems, and Bio-Defense Systems) that market our technology to these specific industries.
