Biosensors for Foodborne Pathogen Detection

摘要: The pathogen diagnostic market is a rapidly growing area with an estimated value of over US$4 billion annually. Current research into diagnostics has focused on developing rapid methods that can ideally be applied outside the laboratory environment. following will provide overview recent advances in foodborne detection. Unlike medical diagnostics, or indicator screening foods requires sensitive devices detect targets present at levels region 1 cfu per 25 ml g presence other microflora and potential interferents. Therefore, on-site have sample preparation technologies concentrate target minimal no culture step. Diagnostics major focus miniaturized detection platforms based range transduction techniques (electrochemical, optical, physical). An examples for each format provided along advantages disadvantages. Future trends likely lab-on-a-chip-based sensors integrated concentration step followed by used
