Bio-Rad Laboratories Inc., a life science research and
clinical diagnostic products manufacturer has joined IBM Research and Mars Inc.
in the Consortium for Sequencing the Food Supply Chain. The consortium is harnessing the power of
genomics and informatics to study microbiomes in food to help prevent
contamination and foodborne illness at any step in the food supply chain.
The consortium was initially launched by IBM and Mars
in January of 2015, and since joining the effort, Bio-Rad will contribute
expertise in chromogenic and molecular tests for food pathogens and food
quality indicators.
