MAKE CONFIDENT DECISIONS

Precision Food Safety

Detect pathogens, characterize positive findings through genomic analysis, and integrate microbiological results to make more informed decisions across your facility.

Three solutions for different food safety challenges

Detect pathogens quickly, investigate positive findings, or integrate your results for ongoing monitoring. Our solutions can be used independently or combined to provide a more complete view of microbiological risk across your facility.

From an isolated positive to a more complete view of risk across your facility.

When a positive result appears again, you need to know where it was previously detected, what historical information is available, and whether it could be related to other findings.

Here is how our solutions can work together to investigate a finding.

Molecular detection · RESIST® Food

Detect faster and simplify your microbiological control.

Detect Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella spp. in food and environmental surfaces through a two-step molecular workflow after enrichment.

Automated readout provides qualitative results to support decision-making in your laboratory and facility.

Microbiological history · Precision Food Safety Platform

Review where and when findings recur.

Review historical data by date and sampling point to identify recurring findings and guide follow-up.

Genomic characterization · NGS

Investigate whether positive findings are related.

When deeper investigation is needed, characterize and compare isolates to assess potential relationships between findings and guide the investigation.

Data integration · Precision Food Safety Platform

Centralize your results and simplify follow-up.

Integrate results from different systems, review trends, and share information across laboratory, quality, and facility teams.

Precision Food Safety

More information to decide where to act.

Bring together historical information, assess potential relationships between findings, and prioritize investigation and follow-up across your facility.

Precision Food Safety

Turn information into actions for a safer facility.

Combine results, historical data, and specialized analysis to guide cleaning and sanitation, prioritize interventions, and verify the effectiveness of actions across your facility.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Find the next step for your food safety program.

What is Kura Biotech's Precision Food Safety?

This portfolio combines molecular detection with RESIST® Food, genomic characterization of pathogens, and integration of results with the Precision Food Safety Platform. These solutions help generate timely results, investigate findings, and review historical data to guide decisions and actions on the production floor.

Do I need to use all three solutions together?

No. You can implement each solution based on the needs of your laboratory or facility: to simplify detection, conduct more in-depth investigations of positive results, or centralize your results. The tools complement one another, and you can expand their use as your food safety program requires.

Which pathogens can I detect with RESIST® Food?

RESIST® Food detects Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella spp. in food and on surfaces. It features a two-step molecular workflow following enrichment, with automated reading, to simplify analysis and deliver timely results.

How can I investigate recurring positive cases at my plant?

The platform allows users to see where and when positive cases recur. Genomic characterization makes it possible to compare isolates and assess potential relationships among them. This information helps guide research and the follow-up of findings at the facility.

Can I centralize results from different detection systems?

Yes. The Precision Food Safety Platform allows you to consolidate results from RESIST® Food and other detection systems. This enables the laboratory, quality control, and production teams to view a shared history, review trends, and access the information simultaneously from different computers.
