Application Of Micro And Nanotechnologies For The Rapid Detection of foodborne pathogens

2007-01-20

The III Hispano-French Conference on micro and nanotechnologies was held recently in Donostia-San Sebastian, one of the participants being AZTI- Tecnalia which presented part of its research carried out within the framework of the European GOODFOOD - Food Safety and Quality Monitoring with Microsystems programme. Being involved as it is in the field of micro and nanotechnologies, AZTI-Tecnalia is currently taking part in the validation of microsystems for their application in foodstuffs, collaborating in the development of improvements in the "BIO" detection system. Thus, microsystems for their use in the rapid detection of pesticides and pathogens, amongst others.
