2. Industrial Microbial Testing (IMT) Manufactures assays to support rapid real-time quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction microbial testing. Actionable Information: Rapid Release/99% product safe Establish Positive Release Program Food Safety Screening: Hold/Release time – ~One (1) hour/PCR vs. Traditional Culture Media Testing – Ingredients, In-process Solutions, Finished Product Sensitivity: One (1) cell per 5 µl of sample One (1) sample, many tests Slide 2 of 8

3. Real-Time Data Standard Curve Traditional Culture Media vs. ~1 HOUR qRT-PCR versus 3 to 14 days~ One (1) Hour Slide 3 of 8

9. IMT’s Assays Validate Food Producer’s Statistical Process Control Program Periodic Testing of Randomized samples against established maximum and minimum standards.

10. Food: Positive Release Program Irrigation water tested Raw fruit and vegetables are washed and cleaned Peracetic Acid and Chlorine wash bath tested at the end of each run Finished product is tested Environmental samples collected in plant “hot spots” Slide 10 of 8

11. Sample Environmental Testing* Surface Sample CollectionCollect bacterial samples in filterOne sample, 5 tests -Total Bacterial Count -E. coli spp. -Salmonella spp. -Listeria spp. Collection and preparation of samples = 30 minutes Quantitative real-time PCR results in 30 minutes *Quantitatively track the presence pathogens in the environment and correlate with spoilage using statistical process control methodologies.
