This invention can be used for detection and quantification of bacteria from food samples before food products enter the supply chain.
About
TECHNOLOGY DESCRIPTION This invention invention is a bacterial detection platform integrating sensitive surface-enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) capabilities and advanced mapping technique that generates detailed chemical images based on a sample’s Raman spectrum. The identification is based on the fingerprint of the bacterial SERS spectra. The quantification of the cells will be based on the mapping technique.
