Current Situation

1. Foodborne diseases are a broad category of illnesses and an increasingly severe public health concern worldwide. According to a report by the World Health Organization (WHO), it is estimated that 600 million people (nearly 1 in 10 individuals) globally fall ill each year from consuming contaminated food, with 420,000 resulting deaths. Children under the age of 5 are at an especially high risk, with 125,000 children dying from foodborne diseases annually.
2. Common methods for detecting foodborne pathogenic bacteria include pathogen culture, immunological methods, and nucleic acid detection. Pathogen culture is characterized by a long detection cycle, low sensitivity, and complex operation. In contrast, immunological methods involve cumbersome antibody preparation, and pathogenic proteins are susceptible to the impact of food processing procedures, leading to poor specificity and low sensitivity.

iFIND Solution

1. Specific Advantages of the Cartridge and Instrument in Foodborne Bacteria Detection
The cartridge adopts the real-time fluorescent PCR method, which boasts high sensitivity, strong specificity, low contamination risk, good repeatability, and the ability to rapidly and accurately detect low-level bacterial contamination. A single tube of sample can simultaneously detect key foodborne pathogenic bacteria including Salmonella, Shigella, Escherichia coli O157, Staphylococcus aureus, and Listeria monocytogenes.
2. Purpose and Significance of the Cartridge
It provides an efficient and precise detection tool for food safety monitoring, disease prevention and control, and public health management. By rapidly and sensitively detecting foodborne pathogenic bacteria, it effectively assists regulatory authorities in timely identifying pathogenic bacterial contamination in food, thereby implementing targeted prevention and control measures to avoid the occurrence and spread of foodborne diseases. The widespread application of this kit can significantly enhance food safety risk early warning capabilities, providing strong support for safeguarding food quality and protecting public health.
