WARREN, N.J. - Roka Bioscience announced today adoption of the Atlas System at Minnesota Valley Testing Laboratories (MVTL), a private independent testing laboratory headquartered in New Ulm, Minn.
MVTL has implemented the Atlas System along with the Atlas Listeria Detection Assay and the Atlas Salmonella Detection Assay, both of which have received AOAC Performance Tested certification, Roka said. MVTL plans to use the Atlas System for molecular pathogen detection of Salmonella and Listeria in food and environmental, food ingredient and finished product samples.
"The Atlas System from Roka Bioscience is a life-changer for us," said Thomas R. Berg, CEO of MVTL. "The Atlas System gives uus major improvements in both data quality and turnaround time for our clients. The Atlas System also offers efficiencies through automation. These are key components in our efforts to control costs."
The Atlas System is a fully-automated molecular instrument for the detection of pathogens in food and environment samples. This instrument utilizes a simple three-step procedure and is capable of processing over 300 samples in 8 hours. The system's continous workflow and high throughput provides greater efficiency, flexibility and dynamic scalability to meet the ever-increasing demands placed on food safety labs, Roka said.
