Pathogen Sense
Our real-time pathogen detection sensors assess water quality by continuously monitoring for harmful bacteria and viruses.
About Us
Pathogen Sense uses real-time qPCR technology, autonomous water sampling, and cloud-based encryption to bring unparalleled speed to pathogen detection.
Our qPCR-based pathogen detection systems autonomously sample any water source to identify distinct strains of pathogens in under 60 minutes. Our rapid detection sensors continuously monitor the water for harmful bacteria and viruses, sending quantitative data to a secure cloud-based dashboard in real-time.
Our automated pathogen detection sensors are able to detect specific strains of E. coli (including E. coli O157:H7), Salmonella, Legionella, Listeria monocytogenes, Vibrio, SARS-CoV-2 (such as Omicron and Delta variants), Monkeypox, CrAssphage, and Campylobacter.

Applications
Our real-time technology offers automated pathogen detection to help you get the results you need, immediately. Our rapid pathogen sensors accelerate pathogen testing to improve production capabilities and maintain public health and safety.
Food and beverage processing
Our rapid pathogen detection sensors continuously monitor water along food processing lines. With fully automated sampling and data analysis, Salmonella contamination can be promptly eliminated, preventing product recalls and foodborne disease outbreaks.
Agriculture
Our autonomous pathogen detection systems sense contamination in irrigation water before it is used on any crops. Our sensors identify foodborne pathogens in real-time, minimizing the spread of foodborne disease.
Fishing and aquaculture
Our pathogen detection sensors deliver real-time water quality information to sustain food safety in aquacultural farms. Our fully automated platforms continuously monitor for waterborne pathogens, preventing expensive recalls and production delays.
Wastewater monitoring and biosurveillance
Monitoring wastewater for human pathogens can provide an outlook on local contamination within communities. Our sensors test for bacteria and viruses in real-time, rapidly identifying disease outbreaks for public health and safety.
Beaches, rivers, reservoirs, and more
Our real-time pathogen detection sensors continuously monitor any water source for pathogens. Our fully automated monitoring platforms can conduct daily testing to keep our beaches, rivers, and reservoirs safe from harmful bacteria and viruses.
Pharmaceutical bioprocessing
Our rapid pathogen detection sensors can be installed at multiple points in pharmaceutical bioprocessing facilities. With fully automated detection capabilities, our platforms continuously monitor for pathogens before contamination can spread, avoiding substantial product loss.
Building water systems
Bacteria can grow in showerheads, faucets, cooling towers, hot water tanks, heaters, and plumbing systems. Our real-time pathogen detection systems continuously monitor these water sources so contamination can be promptly eliminated.
