Research – New test developed to rapidly detect seafood pathogen

New Food Magazine

Shanghai Academy of Agricultural Sciences researchers have developed a rapid detection method for seafood pathogen Vibrio parahaemolyticus, which has the potential to significantly reduce the risk of foodborne illness from seafood.

The new platform, leveraging recombinant polymerase amplification (RPA) and the CRISPR/Cas12a system combined with an immunochromatographic test strip (ICS), offers a low-cost, simple and visually intuitive solution for the rapid detection of this pathogen in seafood.
