Development of new biosensors for the detection of pathogens in real time

Objectives

The main objective of this project was to develop detection equipment of high efficiency and high sensitivity, versatile and portable, for the real time detection of pathogenic microorganisms in food products. The project focused on the development of DNA bioaffinity sensors based on the hybridization of specific DNA strands onto the transducer surface..

Results

As result of this project, EKOTEK has new highly effective biosensors for the Agrifood Sector for the detection of pathogenic microorganisms in foods, providing consumers with an alarm system in real time to alert them of microbial infection hazards.
