June 1, 2017 • Press Release
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania – Invisible Sentinel Inc., a Philadelphia-based global molecular solutions company announced today that its Veriflow technology platform for the detection of Vibrio parahaemolyticus organisms in shellfish has completed validation.
Vibrio parahaemolyticus species present a significant health risk and causes acute illness following the consumption of contaminated shellfish.
