Abstract:
A system for product tracking and verification. The system includes a substrate having a line of weakness and a combination radio frequency identification chip and antenna associated with the substrate. At least one of the radio identification chip and the antenna are intersected by the line of weakness. Separating the substrate along the line of weakness destroys at least one of the radio frequency identification chip and the antenna. A non-transitory computer readable medium including instructions for operating a microprocessor may also be provided wherein there is an instruction for sending an interrogation signal, an instruction for receiving a response to the interrogation signal from the radio frequency identification chip, and a set of instructions for comparing the response to a plurality of expected responses stored in an encrypted database.
Abstract:
The present invention provides formulations and methods for isolating food-borne pathogens from a great variety of food matrices. Methods for isolating microorganisms from clinical and environmental specimens are also disclosed. The invention also concerns methods for rapid and efficient isolation of sufficiently pure DNA from small amounts of various pathogenic microorganisms, which then can be used, according to the methods of the instant invention, for selective identification of a live pathogenic microorganism present in a sample from which the microorganism was isolated. The methods of the instant invention are also useful for identification of new pathogenic microorganisms, diagnostics of food-bome illnesses, treatment of food-borne diseases and quality control of food items offered for sale to consumers.
