GENE-UP®

AUTOMATED FOODBORNE PATHOGEN AND SPOILAGE DETECTION

GENE-UP® solution is based on Real-Time PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) technology for the detection of foodborne pathogens, spoilers and viruses in food, feed, and environmental samples.

GENE-UP® AUGMENTED ECOSYSTEM - One Global Solution for more than 30 applications

With GENE-UP®, you can carry out over 30 testing applications, from pathogen detection for the dairy market, to virus detection in seafood, to spoilage detection for beer, wine and beverages.

With GENE-UP® , training requirements are reduced, the risk of cross-contamination is minimized, and rapid results speed up the decision-making process, improving overall production efficiency.
