BioMérieux Introduces GENE-UP® TYPER for Rapid Food Safety Analysis

bioMérieux has launched GENE-UP® TYPER, a PCR solution for food industries targeting Listeria monocytogenes. The system provides rapid strain characterization, enhancing the ability to identify contamination sources and improve decision-making processes in food safety management.

According to WHO, 600 million people fall ill annually from contaminated food, causing health risks and financial losses. GENE-UP® TYPER aids food industries in tracing contamination origins, thus preventing future incidents.

This automated solution integrates with the GENE-UP® system and utilizes machine learning for precise strain identification. The innovation represents bioMérieux's commitment to advancing food safety through decades of expertise and collaboration with partners like Mérieux NutriSciences.
