LITMUS Rapid Identification of Bacterial Pathogens (RAPID-B)
The LITMUS RAPID-B technology is able identify bacterial pathogens quickly, accurately, and cost effectively.
LITMUS RAPID-B employs proprietary new methods which significantly shorten the time necessary in detecting and identifying bacterial pathogens (e.g. E.coli, salmonella, Listeria, anthrax, cholera, etc.). These new methods were developed by LITMUS and scientists working at the United States Food and Drug Administration’s National Center for Toxicological Research (NCTR).
The hours or days associated with current testing methods translate directly into inventory and shelf life costs for your products. LITMUS RAPID-B® brings REAL TIME monitoring to marketplace. This not only reduces the inventory and shelf life costs of your process, but also allows real time remediation of problems that are detected.
We understand the impact of capital equipment costs. We offer the ability to incorporate the RAPID-B advantage within operational budgets. A monthly service contract places the test equipment at your facility and provides for training of your personnel on it's use. Your only other cost is per-test cost of consumable test kits.
- LITMUS RAPID-B® provides access to critical Process Control and Product Release microbial data in minutes versus days.
- Emerging microbial Process Control issues can be identified immediately, enabling rapid & focused pre-processing remedial action, reducing product risk and overall operating cost.
- Product-release holds can now be reduced from days to minutes, recapturing full product shelf-life and value.
LITMUS partners with biomedical companies, food manufacturers, and government agencies interested in using its RAPID-B technology to rapidly detect bacterial pathogens. A partial list of applications includes:
- Fresh and Pre-cooked meats (beef, pork, chicken, turkey, seafood, etc.)
- Fruits and Vegetables
- Processed Foods
- Baby Formula
- Medical Diagnostic Applications
