Ancera is announcing the release of two new microbial detection tools designed to identify and enumerate Clostridium perfringens and total viable bacteria (TVB) in poultry. Ancera’s new assays can address critical challenges within the poultry industry, spanning both live operations and processing, to help companies increase productivity, food safety and interventional efficacy.
“PIPER is the only platform that combines molecular and classical microbiology capabilities with an operationally relevant time-to-result. The Clostridium and TVB assays will double the number of novel assays on the PIPER platform,” said Arjun Ganesan, CEO of Ancera. “Retail customers see Clostridium perfringens as a productivity and animal welfare concern and our technology can help innovative poultry companies take action and gain market share. TVB has significant implications on reducing microbial loads, susceptibility, and sanitation. We are excited to share these assays with trial partners as we develop the data science models and software for full commercialization.”
