SBIR Phase I: A Microfluidic-Based Biosensor for Food Pathogen Detection

这个小企业创新研究第一阶段项目将开发一种便携式、低成本、多病原体的食品快速检测仪。该仪器预计将完全集成，并将包括一个用于病原体捕获的微流控生物分离器/生物反应器和用于病原体检测的双传感器。第一阶段的工作将集中于开发基于微流体的生物分离器/生物反应器系统的概念验证。该项目的商业应用是在食品加工和食品配送领域。

This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project will develop a portable, low-cost, multi-pathogen rapid detection instrument for food products. This instrument is expected to be fully integrated and will include a microfluidics-based bioseparator / bioreactor for pathogen capture and dual transducers for pathogen detection. The Phase I work will focus on the development of a proof of concept for the microfluidics-based bioseparator / bioreactor system. The commercial application of this project is in the area of food processing and food distribution.
