How does the GENEUP system work?

GENE-UP® uses industry-leading PCR-based technology to detect pathogens in food and environmental samples. It is a molecular diagnostic tool that uses a technology called polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to detect the presence of specific genetic material (DNA or RNA) from pathogens in patient samples. Here's a step-by-step overview of how Gene Up works:

  1. Sample collection: The first step in using Gene Up samples for testing: Dairy, Meat, Produce, Processed Foods, Beverages, Ingredients and Pharmacueticals.

  2. Sample preparation: The sample is then prepared for analysis using standard laboratory techniques, such as DNA or RNA extraction.

  3. PCR amplification: Next, the prepared sample is added to a PCR reaction mix containing specific primers and probes that target the genetic material of the pathogen of interest. The PCR reaction mix is then cycled through a series of temperature changes that cause the DNA or RNA to be amplified, resulting in millions of copies of the target genetic material.

  4. Detection: The amplified genetic material is then detected using fluorescence-based technology. If the target genetic material is present in the sample, the PCR reaction will produce a fluorescent signal that can be detected and analyzed by the Gene Up instrument.

  5. Analysis: The Gene Up instrument analyzes the fluorescent signal to determine whether the pathogen of interest is present in the sample, and if so, how much of it is present. The results are then reported to the healthcare provider.


Overall, Gene Up is a powerful and accurate diagnostic tool that can rapidly detect the presence of a wide range of pathogens using a simple and streamlined workflow.
