In addition to the toll in human suffering, food contamination that is discovered too late exacts a heavy financial cost on the food industry. Ministry of Primary Industries data indicates that in New Zealand, there are an average of two product recalls announced every month. Continuing outbreaks of foodborne illness have underscored the need to better identify microbial pathogens before they enter the food supply, a need made more urgent by growing connections within the global food supply that enable foodborne disease to spread far and wide. NZMS Scientific is proud to represent and introduce Invisible Sentinel to the New Zealand market. With the increasing demand for faster results, as well as accuracy and confidence in an AOAC-validated PCR platform, this new technology is perfect for on-site food processing laboratories who already have, or wish to pursue, IANZ accreditation. Now small to medium laboratories can test their own product onsite for both Salmonella and Listeria within 24 hours, using a user-friendly, low-capital, low-test cost PCR Platform. Invisible Sentinel is the inventor of Veriflow® technology, a patented, molecular flow-based technology that draws from the company’s core competencies in molecular diagnostics, antibody design and immunoassays. The patented Veriflow system combines the sensitivity of real-time PCR tests with the ease of use associated with vertical-flow-based diagnostics. The result is an effective and rapid system that minimises sample preparation, speeds time to results, and provides easy-to-interpret data for the end user. Veriflow test kits are finding applications across multiple industries. Invisible Sentinel helps the food industry to detect foodborne pathogens along with winemakers and beer artisans to cost-effectively improve the quality of their products. Each solution is specific, but each retains the inherent advantages of Veriflow t e c h n o l o g y — i t ’s simple, accessible and affordable.
