Yarok Technology Transfer

yarok microbio ltd. is an innovation-based start-up with a breakthrough new testing technology for the food industry to avoid product recalls, save production costs and protect consumers.. the problem: the lack of truly fast microbiological tests for individuation of dangerous bacteria (e.g. e.coli, listeria, salmonella, etc.) is a top priority for the food industry. results from traditional tests take days. so-called “rapid” tests may take 18-72 hours and are highly prone to false positive results. by the time results come in, fresh food has left the production facility and has been marketed, possibly already consumed. current test timeframes are therefore insufficient to avoid product recalls, lawsuits, damaged reputation, or safeguard consumer health. the solution: yarok has developed affordable microbiological tests for fast, accurate results within a production shift time-frame: results are provided in 45 minutes, with final bacteria absence assessment before fresh food exits the
