ALLOGEN BIOTECH

Allogen Biotech is developing a device that will enable food manufacturers check, quantify, and manage levels of allergens or contaminants in their products. Allogen Biotech’s mission is to provide manufacturers with the ability to inspect their products for potential allergens, in a quick, easy to interpret and reasonably priced way, via a portable handheld device. This helps the food manufacturers and food processors bypass time consuming and expensive centralized laboratory testing. Test... ing of foods to control levels of unwanted ingredients or contaminants is becoming commonplace among food manufacturers and food processors. With the increase in food-borne illnesses from contaminated food, governments and food manufacturers alike are striving to produce safer foods. In the US alone, food-related illnesses affect an estimated seventy-six million people annually. Allogen Biotech has identified a breakthrough in this area of food contamination testing. Using sensors that are primarily developed for the medical diagnostic industry, Allogen Biotech is developing a “point of testing” device.More
