Editor's Notes
- DuPont is focusing its scientific innovation primarily on three challenges - Food, Energy and Protection. One in seven people on Earth goes to bed hungry each night. Ensuring that enough healthy, nutritious food is available for people everywhere is one of the most critical challenges facing humanity. By 2035, global demand for energy will increase by 36%. We will need to find new and cleaner energy sources and new ways to use our existing sources more efficiently. A growing population places increased pressure on people and the environment. One of our greatest challenges in the coming decades will be adequately protecting humanity and the world we share. Solutions to many of these global challenges can be found in science.

This suite of food safety tests was developed in collaboration with the Agricultural Research Service of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA ARS...” Shiga toxin-producing E coli (STEC) cause about 265,000 illnesses each year in the U.S. This PCR-based suite of tests detects 6 types of STEC identified by USDA as adulterants in raw beef. Developed in collaboration with USDA Agricultural Research Service Innovative solution to newly mandated testing program by the USDA Food Safety & Inspection Service Easy to use, automated system brings sophisticated molecular microbiology techniques into standard quality control labs without the need for expert training.
