One-Button Foodborne Illness Testing for Anyone: KIMM Develops Fully Automated Integrated Diagnostic System

A research team led by Senior Researcher Chanyong Park, Principal Researcher Dongkyu Lee, and Postdoctoral Researcher Changha Woo at the Department of Diagnostic Sensors, Daegu-Gyeongbuk Convergence Research Division, Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials (KIMM, President Seog-Hyeon Ryu)--under the National Research Council of Science & Technology (NST, Chairman Young-Shik Kim)--has developed a rapid, fully automated, field-deployable integrated system for foodborne pathogen diagnostics. The system integrates food matrix dissociation, nucleic acid pre-treatment, and molecular diagnostics into a single platform, automatically performing the entire workflow--from pathogen separation and nucleic acid purification to amplification and detection--within one device.
