Agriculture Monitoring
Challenge: Modern agriculture faces mounting pressure to ensure crop health, food safety, and environmental sustainability — all while reducing chemical inputs and improving yield. However, pathogen detection in soil, water, and produce remains slow, lab-dependent, and reactive, often leading to crop loss, regulatory fines, or disrupted supply chains.
Solution: SensTek’s portable molecular analytics platforms enables on-site detection of plant pathogens, waterborne bacteria, and spoilage indicators in minutes — not days. With just a small sample, farmers and agronomists can monitor fields, irrigation systems, and post-harvest conditions in real time, making data-driven decisions that protect crops, reduce pesticide use, and increase market confidence.
Animal Health
Challenge: Detecting infectious diseases in livestock and poultry is critical for preventing outbreaks, ensuring food safety, and reducing economic losses. Yet, current diagnostic methods often rely on lab-based testing with long turnaround times, making early intervention difficult. This delay can lead to rapid disease spread, costly treatments, and even mass culling.
Solution: SensTek’s molecular and biosensing platforms allow on-site, early detection of pathogens in animals using small samples of saliva, feces, blood, or environmental swabs. Our pathogen-agnostic system delivers fast, accurate yes/no results and quantitative readouts, enabling farmers and veterinarians to take immediate action.
Water Quality Monitoring
Challenge: Monitoring microbial contamination—especially aboard cruise ships, cooling towers, HVAC systems, and industrial loops—is vital to prevent Legionnaires’ disease and norovirus outbreaks. But slow, centralized tests mean you risk an outbreak before results arrive.
Don’t wait for contamination to spread and incur fines, passenger illness, or reputational damage..
Solution: SensTek’s on-site molecular tests deliver Legionella and norovirus results in under 45 minutes—so you avoid costly downtime and health crises. Our simple disposable cassettes require no lab, no training, and no delay. Take control now—before you face fines, negative press, or sick passengers.
Food Safety
Challenge: Foodborne pathogens like Salmonella, Listeria, and E. coli can contaminate products at any stage — from farm to fork — leading to costly recalls, brand damage, and health risks. Yet, current testing methods are centralized, slow, and logistically demanding, often requiring days to confirm contamination, which delays corrective action and disrupts supply chains.
Solution: SensTek’s compact, on-site molecular testing platform allows rapid detection of pathogens directly at processing plants, packaging facilities, and distribution centers. Using minimal sample volume and no cold chain, our system delivers clear yes/no results and quantitative data in under an hour. This empowers food producers to test more frequently, act faster, and reduce the risk of contaminated products reaching consumers — all without the need for complex lab infrastructure.
