Biological Agent Detection in Food With an Array Biosensor

Abstract

Intentional contamination of food with biological agents is a global concern. Most identification methods for these agents in food require extensive pre-treatment or concentration prior to analysis in a laboratory and take up to 4 days for bacterial agents. The Array Biosensor was developed for simultaneous analysis of multiple samples for multiple agents in a portable format. The simultaneous analysis of more than 6 agents takes less than 20 minutes. Analysis results of various foods spiked with SEB, F. coil Ol57:H7, Salmonella, and other bacterial agents will be presented.
