ENVIRONMENTAL

Evogen is developing systems built on state-of-the-art nucleic acid techniques and instrumentation that enable the rapid and accurate detection and monitoring of a multitude of key pathogens in environmental samples. Simple detection with positive and negative results.

Environmental monitoring covers a diverse range of testing regimes with the requirement to test for the presence of a pathogen within the general environment and prior to any infection or adverse reaction. Evogen testing systems can be deployed in testing of:

• Healthcare and clean room
• Water quality
• indoor air quality
• Laboratory animal facilities
• Farm animal facilities
• Food production sites

Biodefense processes have targeted incoming animals and, to a lesser extent, inanimate supplies and materials. Now, many institutions are realizing that monitoring the environment is as vital to overall management of disease risk as is direct monitoring.

An effective environmental monitoring program can not only give assurance that biodefense processes are functioning properly to minimize risk from the introduction of microbes into healthcare, food preparation or animal facilities, but can also be used to help detect and contain infection. Evogen’s molecular techniques offer faster, more reliable results compared to traditional surveillance methods.
