INVISIBLE SENTINEL was founded in 2006 with a goal of revolutionizing molecular diagnostics. Although many PCR-based testing tools were available, they were dated and had inherent issues. Existing rapid methods were both complex and expensive or had limitations with regards to sensitivity and accuracy. The mission of INVISIBLE SENTINEL was to radically improve on this, developing a new molecular technology known as VERIFLOW®.

This white paper outlines the reasons why you should implement an environmental pathogen management program in your food plant.

In this white paper, let author Jack van der Sanden explain how a strict routine of plant health checks would detect anomalies more quickly and avoid many problems.

An “annus horribilis” for the craft brewing industry is just coming to an end we hope! A stark contrast for an industry in Europe that has experienced a strong growth in recent years. Over the last 15 years or so craft beer has increasingly captured the drinking public’s interest and while on-line, curb side and supermarket sales increased significantly in 2020, this has far from compensated for the lost restaurant, bar and event sales.

Affecting more than 210 countries in the world, the COVID-19 outbreak is still highly evolving and uncertain in its final magnitude. To contain the pandemic, entire cities and regions have ordered a collective quarantine, stopping most of the local economic activity.

Minimizing foodborne virus risk in the food industry by implementing multi-parametric solutions.

Automation and new technologies are quietly but surely transforming our labs. As food microbiology turns to new protocols, the industry will need thought leaders and remarkable managers to accompany our people towards new expertise, redefining how the profession operates as the times are changing. Will you be one of them?

In a world that is demanding more prevention, more transparency and traceability, food microbiology laboratories and the food industry must work together. Food manufacturers heavily rely on food laboratories to verify that processes, environments, and products meet safety and quality standards to protect both consumers and brands.
