Detection of Foodborne Pathogens Using Biosensors

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

Early detection of common pathogens is necessary to prevent foodborne disease outbreaks. Field-deployable biosensors can allow such early detection of foodborne pathogens. This chapter discusses traditional laboratory-based assays: culture plating and colony counting, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Subsequent efforts to make these laboratory assays into field-deployable biosensors are discussed, specifically using the lab-on-a-chip (LOC) platforms, paper microfluidics, and smartphones.
