Within the next five to 10 years, many biosensors will find routine, practical food-safety application, says Sundaram Gunasekaran of the University of Wisconsin-Madision.
In the Fall 2008, the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) publication PoultryTech reported on the potential of using an optical biosensor developed by GTRI for the detection of the avian influenza (AI) virus*. The optical sensor is low-cost, easy to use, field-deployable, and provides rapid results less than 30 minutes.
