B.EL.D |
3 MINUTES. HIGH ACCURACY. LESS EXPENSIVE
EMBIO Diagnostics Ltd created the B.EL.D (Bio Electric Diagnostics) device, a multi-use handheld chemical analyzer that instantly tests for Listeria and other harmful chemicals in food.
Rapid Listeria Detection
Results in Minutes
Reliable detection of unwanted bacteria in fresh produce, meat and milk products within 3 minutes
Use with your phone
B.EL.D results are displayed on your
mobile phone
Following Standards
The B.EL.D. device adheres to international standards & guidelines for food management
Everything in cloud
Automatic cloud-based private data storage and historic data access
PROCESS STEPS
Sample Preparation Depending on your Food Matrix
Inoculate 25g or 25mL of food sample into 225 mL of primary enrichment (Half-Fraser broth). Incubate the suspension at 30oC for 24 h.
Liquid Form Sample
Follow the BELD Protocol
- Sample on the electrodes
- Biosensors on the sample
- Device for measuring response
Add 20 μL of the incubated food suspension onto each electrode. After 60 seconds add 20 μL of the biosensors onto each electrode.
3 MinuteS
Connection with the BELD algorithm and data analysis system
Monitor your results via the mobile application or the online platform
B.EL.D Web Platform
Results from current and past tests can be retrieved from the B.EL.D web-platform
Test data can also be complemented with sample images, geolocation, and other key data points that contribute to the enhancement of the application’s machine learning infrastructure
THE B.EL.D SaaS PLATFORM AND MOBILE APP
The B.EL.D mobile app on your mobile phone is the gateway to our web platform for accessing test results, historic data, statistics and to receive updates on the latest features on food safety.
Patented biotechnology
Detection is powered by BERA Biosensors to acheive selective and accurate detection.
AI algorithms
Our AI algorithm allows for accurate detection and adapts to the user experience.
Cloud Platform
Our cloud platform allows storing of sample images and key information for a clear view of the supply chain.
Machine Learning
With the use of ML our diagnostic platform allows for a unique view on the food supply chain.
Our Listeria detection test
Our test has been designed to detect the presence of the pathogenic bacterium Listeria monocytogenes in milk and milk products. More than 200 tests on milk and cheese samples have been evaluated by the ISO 11290 1:2017 method, revealing 100% success rate with a Limit Of Detection of 100 CFU g-1 or mL-1 in all food substrates.*
* Biosensor’s accuracy was 90 and 91% in milk and halloumi cheese samples, respectively, when LOD was set at 4 CFU g 1 or mL-1
