The detection of foodborne pathogens alone is not enough and can sometimes leave you with even more questions, including:

• Have we seen this strain before?
• Is this true contamination or lab cross-contamination?
• Is this a persistent strain in our factory? Where?
• Can we link this to a particular raw material supplier?

bioMérieux’s latest innovation, the GENE-UP^® TYPER, introduces innovative root cause analysis capabilities for the food industry’s fight against contamination.

The GENE-UP® TYPER goes beyond traditional pathogen detection methods by enabling rapid root cause analysis. This innovative technology allows food producers to:

• Pinpoint strain origins
• Identify recurrence patterns
• Determine contamination sources

With results in under two hours (from an isolated colony), it empowers food producers to mitigate risks quickly, minimizing costly production stops and waste.

Built on bioMérieux’s Augmented-DX portal, the GENE-UP^® TYPER employs probabilistic algorithms to track strain mutations and resistance traits. This breakthrough in pathogen detection is a proactive solution designed to streamline operations, maintain brand reputation, and enhance food safety standards.
