PITTSBURGH, Pa. — Microbac Laboratories has announced that the company has adopted Invisible Sentinel
Inc.’s Veriflow diagnostic technology for detection of bacterial pathogens in food.
The adoption of Invisible Sentinel’s entire suite of Veriflow assays by Microbac follows a period of validation
studies at selected Microbac laboratories. The assays were validated for various environmental surfaces and
food products, including specialized foods such as confectionary products.
“We have found Veriflow® to be an accurate and reliable technology that offers the advantages of a molecular
method with the efficiency of earlier-generation tests,” said Brad Stawick, Microbac’s Corporate Director of
Microbiology. “The addition of Veriflow® assays to our capabilities will help us to assess potential food issues
accurately and promptly.”
The Veriflow product line has been approved by the AOAC International, a global standardization
organization, to detect bacterial contamination in a wide variety of food types and on various environmental
surfaces.
“We’re delighted to work with Microbac to offer the advantages of Veriflow technology to Microbac’s
clientele,” said Nick Siciliano, Chief Executive Officer and co-founder of Invisible Sentinel. “InvisibleSentinel and Microbac both understand the role that advanced technology can play to meet the more
stringent demands being made of the food industry for accurate and prompt testing to protect against
foodborne pathogens.”
