Agro-food

Harmful microorganisms can potentially impact the agro-food and beverage industry at each and every steps of the production and commercialization chain. The different stakeholders, the farmers, the processors, the transporters and the distributors spend on a daily-basis enormous efforts to control the so-called foodborne diseases agents likely to contaminate the raw and the end-products. Foodborne diseases are still responsible for high death levels especially in young children and elderly people in less developed countries.

Progenus proposes PCR and Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) -based services and products:

• Design and validation of in-vitro diagnostic and analysis tests.
• Identification of foodborne-diseases and living adventitious contaminants (virus, bacteria, fungus) which are detrimental to quality and safety of the food and beverage raw material and end-products.
