CERTUS, innovators in food safety technologies, introduce same-shift results with their revolutionary new in-house pathogen testing system. The CERTUS System provides food producers with a superior alternative to third-party testing, delivering swab-to-result in as little as eight hours. Backed by a comprehensive series of tests and assay optimizations, the rapid performing CERTUS System was displayed at the International Association of Food Protection July 8-11, 2018 in Salt Lake City, Utah (booth #301) with demonstrations every 30 minutes.
Utilizing SERS nanoparticle technology, the CERTUS System features real-time detection which empowers food processors with the timely information they need to keep their products moving and protect their brand from a recall. The CERTUS System's powerful combination of in-house capability coupled with real-time detection means producers have test results in-hand in less time than it takes for a third-party lab to receive samples by mail. By reducing dependence on postage, the CERTUS System eliminates delays and costs associated with mailing samples - including cold pack and hazardous material shipping fees. Small and mid-size producers now gain a significant edge with CERTUS. Instead of paying high rates associated with low-test volumes, the CERTUS System opens the door to a robust and economical way to take control while others are waiting for results.
