nanoRETE, Inc. is a Michigan-based company that is developing next generation technologies to provide real-time detection of pathogens and toxins using customized, proprietary nanoparticle biosensors. The Company's approach is a major advancement from current technologies: a platform that has the ability to test for single or multiple pathogens/toxins (e.g., E. coli, Salmonella, Listeria, tuberculosis) using a simple-to-use portable device that can generate screening results in approximately 2-4 hours at a significantly lower cost than currently available approaches. Applications of the technology are targeted toward detection and subsequent protection in the commercial food industry along with military applications.
