Fast Pathogen Detection Made Easy™

10-minute bacterial pathogen detection for food safety

A portable, handheld system that delivers PCR-like accuracy in about ten minutes — no lab, no amplification step, no specialized technician.

Fast Screening Testing

Detecting E. coli, Salmonella, Listeria & Campylobacter — ~70% of a $12.7B global market that's growing 10% annually.

The problem

Slow testing costs the food industry $100M+ annually — and puts consumers at risk

Bacterial contamination sickens an estimated 10 million people in the US a year and drives costly recalls. Today's screening takes hours and confirmation takes days, so product sits in inventory or ships untested.

10M
People sickened annually in the US

E. coli, Salmonella, Listeria and Campylobacter cause 1,000 deaths annually (CDC, 2025).

Hours – Days
Current time to result

Fast screening takes 24 - 72 hours; confirmatory testing takes days while product waits.

$100M+
Annual industry losses

Suppliers hold $1M+ of inventory every day awaiting pathogen test results.

The solution

Lab-grade answers, right at the point of need

The RapidBio System is a portable, handheld analyzer that identifies bacterial pathogens directly from food samples — using patented particle immunoagglutination and Mie-scattering detection. The same device and single-use cartridge work everywhere product moves, from the field to the processing line to the distribution center.

10 minutes to resultFast screening in minutes, not hours or days.
Portable & handheldTest anywhere across the distribution ecosystem.
PCR-like accuracyNo sample amplification step required.

One test, every point in the food supply chain

Rows of leafy greens growing in an open field

Produce & fresh crops

Screen leafy greens and fresh produce at harvest and packing, where E. coli and Listeria risk is highest.

Dairy cattle in a pasture

Dairy & beef

Test raw milk and beef processing at the source instead of holding product for days of confirmatory culture.

Laying hens at a feed trough beside a row of eggs

Poultry & eggs

Catch Salmonella and Campylobacter — the two pathogens most associated with poultry — on the line.

Beyond the device

Every test builds a real-time, food-safety data layer

Each test generates structured, timestamped, geotagged data — creating a pathogen dataset that doesn't exist today, which shifts food safety from reactive to predictive. The long-term moat is the data rather than the device.

Real-time capture

Every result is uploaded to cloud QA, building a live, geotagged record of pathogen data at scale.

Predictive modeling

Correlating results with supplier, line, temperature and season enables preventive not reactive food safety.

Network intelligence

Dense, geotagged results compress outbreak tracing from weeks to hours and enable supplier risk scoring.
