DuPont Diagnostics, a part of DuPont Nutrition & Health, has released a mobile application to help customers view their company’s food pathogen testing results on the go. The DuPont BaxApp, available as a free download in the Apple App Store and iTunes, allows users to open BAX System software files from emails, hosting services and other sources, without needing to access a networked computer.
The DuPont BAX System – an automated, PCR-based pathogen detection platform for food safety and quality testing – generates testing results after each process run as a .bax file, which previously could be viewed only on a computer running the appropriate BAX System software. With the introduction of the mobile BaxApp, technicians, lab managers and customer support teams can view the same results files on a mobile device, which can help minimize review times and allow companies to act more quickly to address potentially critical food safety issues.
