Seqlo’s advanced molecular testing kits ensure food safety this festive season
Seqlo by DSS Imagetech offers advanced real-time PCR testing kits to help food brands detect pathogens and allergens during the festive rush.
As the festive season approaches, leading to a massive surge in consumer footfall at restaurants and food outlets, maintaining high standards of food safety has become a vital differentiator for brands looking to build long-term credibility and consumer trust.
To address this critical need, Seqlo by DSS Imagetech, a leader in advanced molecular diagnostics, is providing the food industry with high-tech solutions to bridge the gap between production and consumer safety. Through its advanced real-time PCR testing kits, the company is empowering manufacturers and laboratories to ensure compliance and quality throughout the supply chain.
A faster alternative to traditional testing
Traditional methods, such as culture or ELISA-based testing, can often lead to delays in identifying potential risks. During festive periods, when food is consumed in large quantities, such delays can become hazardous. Seqlo’s modern real-time PCR (qPCR) technology offers a significant advantage by providing highly specific, sensitive, rapid, and reliable results.
These kits allow for real-time molecular detection and quantification across various samples, including food, environmental, and biological specimens. This speed enables food businesses to make life-saving decisions in real time, from the initial sourcing and processing stages to manufacturing and final distribution.
Comprehensive detection capabilities
Seqlo’s testing solutions cover a wide array of critical food safety parameters, ensuring that manufacturers can respond quickly to potential contaminants. Their specialized kits are designed to detect:
- Food Pathogens: Identifying harmful bacteria in milk, milk products, raw foods, processed foods, and meat.
- Food Allergens: Screening for common allergens including milk, egg, gluten, soya, peanuts, sesame, and crustaceans.
- Animal Species: Verifying animal species identification in meat and milk products.
- GMO Screening: Testing for genetically modified crop sequences.
- DNA Extraction: Assisting in complex biological analysis within the food and dairy industries.
Expert-led integration for businesses
“Conventional food testing methods sometimes create delays in identifying potential risks which can become hazardous when food is consumed in large quantities during festive gatherings. Advanced molecular technologies deliver accurate and actionable results within a few hours, enabling food businesses and laboratories to make timely life-saving decisions,” said Dr. Karn Pratap Singh, Senior Scientist at the R&D Centre, DSS Imagetech.
Beyond providing the hardware and kits, Seqlo ensures that its solutions are easily integrated into existing workflows. The kits are compatible with most commercially available real-time PCR machines and are supported by in-house experts who provide technical guidance and training to help teams adopt these advanced molecular testing methods seamlessly.
