Clear Labs, the only automated and intelligent NGS platform purpose-built for food safety testing, announced it is including serotyping capabilities on its Clear Safety platform. Food safety professionals can detect up to 40 unique Salmonella serotypes in an enriched sample in about 24 hours.
With this product update, Clear Safety allows food manufacturers and service labs to test for presence/absence of pathogens and serotypes at the same time, avoiding the 3-5 day cost of traditional serotyping methodologies. By having both sets of information at the same time, customers are able to make faster, more informed decisions that impact consumer safety and operational efficiencies.
