  • Detection on the surface or on the food.
  • Fast detection kit (lab-on-chip)
  • Easy adaptation/versatility to try different pathogens.
  • Low cost.
  • High sensitivity and specificity.
  • The method should be approved by legislation in the target markets (Europe and USA)
  • Online and continuous method.

Solutions not of interest
