Food and water safety are fundamental to public health, with contamination posing serious risks to individuals, communities, and entire supply chains. From bacterial and viral pathogens to parasites and toxins, the range of potential contaminants is vast and often difficult to detect using traditional diagnostic methods. YouSeq’s Food and Water qPCR Testing Range delivers rapid, accurate, and highly sensitive diagnostics, empowering laboratories, regulatory bodies, and producers to identify contamination early, ensure compliance with safety standards, and protect public health.
Comprehensive pathogen coverage
Our portfolio covers key bacterial threats such as Escherichia coli, Salmonella enterica, Bacillus anthracis, and Clostridium botulinum, which are responsible for severe foodborne illnesses and, in some cases, mortality. Additionally, environmental bacteria like Pseudomonas spp. and Legionella pneumophila are targeted with precision assays to monitor water systems and prevent outbreaks of diseases such as Legionnaires’ disease. For parasitic contaminants, assays for Cryptosporidium spp., Giardia spp., Cyclospora cayetanensis, and Acanthamoeba spp. ensure robust monitoring and control in both food and water sources. These pathogens, often resilient in diverse environmental conditions, require the sensitivity and specificity of molecular qPCR tools to ensure accurate detection.
