Projectdetails

Introduction

Lengthy, effort-consuming lab-based procedures for food contaminants detection led to delays in supply chains, excessive food waste, economical losses, and illness of the consumers.

Technology Development

NG Sensors applied its proprietary mass spectrometer (MS)-based technology to develop a Handheld Molecular Contaminants Screener (HMCS), a portable and user-friendly device to assess contaminations on-site in real-time.

Innovation

This is the first time that an MS is miniaturized without compromised sensitivity. HMCS offers cost-effective and time-saving contaminant assessment compared to current lab-based testing, significantly reducing food waste and CO2 emissions.

Revenue Generation

We will generate revenues from HMCS sales and service contracts to food/feed processing companies in the Agri-food Testing market.

Project Focus

The SAFE-FOOD project focuses on:

  1. Commercial studies
  2. Regulatory studies
  3. Pilot studies

This ensures HMCS’ market readiness and commercialization for its market launch in 2023, which forecasts an annual revenue of €2.75M rising to €74M in 2027.
