News Content:

Hanson Technologies, Inc, an innovator in UltraRapid(TM) food and beverage safety technology solutions, recently introduced its Hanson Technologies Safe Vegetable Screening System (HSVS-1000), a patent-pending, end-to-end solution for the ultra rapid detection of pathogens in fresh-cut produce without culturing. The elimination of culturing -- associated with many hours of delay in waiting for results -- represents a major advancement in food safety screening.

The HSVS-1000 can simultaneously screen for multiple pathogens, allergens and toxins, including E.coli O157:H7 and Salmonella, in two hours or less utilizing large sample sizes.

This integrated solution comprises proprietary technology, protocols, service and support to optimize food safety and quality throughout operations.
"Hanson Technologies' UltraRapid(TM) food safety solutions are the fastest and most reliable non-culture solutions in the industry and set a new standard in food safety by reducing the screening window from 12 to 36 hours down to just two hours," said William P. Hanson, Ph.D., CEO of Hanson Technologies, Inc. "This incredible time savings provides a host of benefits including cost reduction, less complexity, elimination of storage issues, greater freshness, and the potential for QA at multiple times and at multiple points throughout the 'farm gate to dinner plate' value chain."

The Hanson Technologies Safe Vegetable Screening System (HSVS-1000) provides UltraRapid(TM) detection of multiple pathogens utilizing an automated process throughout food processing operations. For maximum safety and quality assurance, Hanson Technologies' solution enables both in-process and field screening without culturing. This includes:



  • UltraRapid(TM) screening of "in-process" wash water used during in plant processing operations
  • UltraRapid(TM) screening of field-sampled vegetables prior to harvest
  • UltraRapid(TM) screening of fresh-cut produce immediately prior to packing and shipping

Hanson Technologies is actively seeking pilot sites for validation testing of its Hanson Technologies Safe Vegetable Screening System (HSVS-1000). The pilot program includes a one-to-two week validation of the technology and on- site support as well as shared data.

Interested companies or institutions can contact William Hanson at US 717-245-9890 for more information on this opportunity.

"Hanson Technologies' full UltraRapid(TM) safety solutions will include services, training and data access," said Hanson. "For the pilot program, we are seeking working commercial validation of our technology in field situations."
