AgroMicron Nano Bioluminescence Detection SprayAgroMicron Nano Bioluminescence Detection Spray
Green fluorescent protein conjugated to pathogen-specific antibodies
When applied to a food or beverage, it reacts with the pathogen and produces
a visual glow
Glow intensity correlates to number of bacteria detected
Low cost and portable
Feasible for a broad range of pathogens

143. Prof. Gunter Oberdรถrster argued that most studies
are of limited value to a risk assessment as they have
been performed at unrealistic exposure doses.
153. Nanomaterials intentionally produced to have specific properties or specific
composition, a size range typically between 1 nm and 100 nm and material
which is either a nano-object (i.e. that is confined in one, two, or three
dimensions at the nanoscale) or is nanostructured (i.e. having an internal or
surface structure at the nanoscale).
