TechTalk: The solutions helping food microbiology labs escape enrichment bottlenecks
Friday, April 24 at 15:00 BST | 16:00 CEST | 10:00 EDT | 07:00 PDT
Food microbiology laboratories face increasing pressure to deliver faster results while managing growing sample volumes and limited staff capacity. One of the most persistent bottlenecks in testing workflows remains enrichment media preparation, which can consume valuable time, introduce variability, and limit overall lab productivity.
In this SelectScience® TechTalk, Jaako McVey, Senior Manager, Product Management of Microbiology from Thermo Fisher Scientific, will share three practical solutions that overcome the productivity gap created by traditional media preparation workflows and allow labs to quickly and accurately detect foodborne pathogens in a broad range of foods and associated samples.
Products in discussion:
1. Bagged Enrichment Media
2. Sample and media preparators
3. New innovation - coming soon
You will also discover how ready‑to‑use enrichment solutions and automation can streamline workflows, reduce manual handling, and support more consistent, reliable results. Plus, the session will explore emerging technologies and future approaches with the potential to further boost productivity in food microbiology testing labs.
