Problem
The food supply chain lacks rapid, cost-effective, and on-site methods for verifying the genetic composition of seeds and grains. Current genetic testing methods often require specialized laboratories, leading to delays and increased costs for seed suppliers and grain distributors. This makes it difficult to ensure compliance and quality control throughout the supply chain.
Solution
NanoBio Designs provides a DNA detection platform that enables rapid, on-site genetic testing for the food supply chain. Their technology utilizes coated nanoparticles that interact with crude DNA within assays to detect the presence, absence, or levels of targeted genetic markers in samples. This allows seed producers, grain distributors, and testing labs to quickly and easily verify genetic composition, ensuring compliance and quality before transactions occur. The platform is designed to be simple, self-service, ultra-fast, and portable, eliminating the need for specialized laboratory equipment.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes seed producers, grain distributors, and testing labs involved in the food supply chain.
