ADVANCING MOLECULAR DIAGNOSTICS

The xPRO™ Program

Since 2019, the xPRO™ Program has been the catalyst advancing molecular diagnostics across food quality and safety programs through the rapid development of innovative, custom testing solutions to further ensure public health.

Cutting-Edge Custom Molecular Assays

Recent innovations from the xPRO™ Program that are now available for application include: GENE-UP® NUTRAPLEX PROGENE-UP® PRO ACBGENE-UP® BREWPRO, GENE-UP® PRO BEVERAGE and VERIFLOW® BOTTLESAFE™


The program began as an innovation engine born out of the Invisible Sentinel acquisition in which we partner directly with industry leaders to rapidly develop, validate, and commercialize cutting-edge molecular assays to respond to emerging needs.

 
 

Challenge the Status Quo

Developing a typical food safety molecular assay traditionally takes two to three years. The xPRO™ Program, part of bioMérieux’s Augmented Diagnostics Approach, accelerates this process by partnering directly with the food industry to diagnose and solve food safety challenges, creating custom testing solutions that enhance public safety, reduce waste, and improve efficiency.

Our advanced R&D facilities, including the new Molecular and Genomics Innovation Center in Philadelphia, support the program's rapid scaling to meet current and future demands, providing continuous support to leading food, beverage, and dietary supplement brands.

The xPRO™ Program is available to companies of any size in the food, beverage, dietary supplement, beer, and wine industries, and has already partnered with notable brands like Herbalife, White Labs, Jackson Family Wines, and Body Armor.

 
 

xPRO™  Innovations

  • GENE-UP® ENVIROPRO™

    Simultaneously Detect Salmonella and Listeria

    GENE-UP® ENVIROPRO™ is the only assay of its kind to simultaneously detect both Salmonella and Listeria from environmental swabbing, including PCR confirmation. It is an AOAC Performance Tested Method that helps provide cost savings, laboratory waste production, and a streamlined workflow—empowering you to make rapid, effective quality decisions.

  • GENE-UP® NUTRAPLEX™ PRO microbial testing for nutraceuticals

    A Paradigm Shift in Microbial Quality Testing for Nutraceuticals

    Nutraceutical products are inherently complex, making recovery and detection of microbial contaminants a challenge. The streamlined GENE-UP® NUTRAPLEX™ PRO assay enables faster operations, compared to traditional methods that are time consuming and labor intensive. 

  • GENE-UP® QUANT Salmonella

    True Quantification

    GENE-UP® QUANT Salmonella brings efficiency and ease with accurate quantification of Salmonella. With no incubation or enrichment required, you get reliable results with true quantification for informed and efficient intervention decisions.

  • GENE-UP® BREWPRO™ Spoilage Assessment System

    Guarantee Operational Efficiency

    GENE-UP® BREWPRO™ is an easy-to-use spoilage assessment system that improves overall productivity and ensures beer is clean prior to shipment well in advance of traditional microbiology assays.

  • GENE-UP® PRO ACB - Alicyclobacillus spp. Detection

    Alicyclobacillus spp. and Guaiacol Detection

    Ensure your process control from ingredients to the bottle with GENE-UP® PRO ACB, specifically for juice quality and safety programs.

  • GENE-UP® PRO BEVERAGE

    Tailored Spoilage Analysis

    Ensure the highest-quality customer experience with the GENE-UP® PRO BEVERAGE assay, specifically developed for the beverage industry to target the bacteria and yeasts responsible for spoilage.

  • VERIFLOW®  BOTTLESAFE

    Verify Final Filtration

    Rapidly detect common wine spoilers before bottling in both red and white wines with BOTTLESAFE. The BOTTLESAFE pre-bottling quality tools validate filtration and ensure your carefully crafted wines are free of common spoilage bacteria and yeast, protecting your vintage bottles and your brand.

  • VERIFLOW® VINOBRETT

    Preserve the Value of your Wine

    Bring affordable, onsite PCR testing to your winery with VINOBRETT. VINOBRETT makes it possible to conduct routine, proactive testing throughout the winemaking process to obtain accurate information about the presence and level of Brettanomyces at any time.

  • VERIFLOW® VINOPAL

    Proactively Manage Spoilage Organisms

    VINOPAL provides accurate information about the presence and level of Pediococcus and Lactobacillus at any time, and especially during harvest. These bacteria can quickly multiply, making early detection critical so wine can develop as intended.
