TUCSON, Ariz., Jan. 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Lightsense
Technology, a pioneer in developing multi-spectroscopic solutions
to address critical problems in public health—from the opioid
crisis to the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as food safety and quality
assurance in the food supply chain—announced today a new
partnership with a leader in the aquaculture farming of Atlantic
Salmon in Norway, Pure Norwegian
Seafood AS, to develop multi-spectral instruments based on
Lightsense's patented Enhanced Photodetection Spectroscopy (EPS)
technology for detection of bacterial pathogens in salmon
processing. Bacterial pathogens can result in discarding large
quantities of salmon products with a severe financial impact.
"We are very excited to partner with Lightsense Technology with
their innovative multi-spectral solution for pathogen detection and
believe that together we can bring a significant improvement to
salmon processing and the aquaculture industry," said Eldar Henden, CEO of Pure Norwegian Seafood
AS.
Lightsense's EPS technology has been shown to provide unique
benefits in a recent research project sponsored by the US
Department of Defense, which demonstrated that EPS technology can
rapidly detect and identify corona viruses (including those causing
Covid-19) in human saliva, as well as detecting bacterial
pathogens, including in aqueous solutions.
"We are pleased to team with Pure Norwegian Seafood, a leader in
marine aquaculture, to bring our combined unique and valuable
insights to this important emerging area for protecting and
enhancing our food supply via early pathogen detection," said
Terje Skotheim, Founder & CEO of
Lightsense Technology. "This is the start of a long but rewarding
path toward truly breakthrough solutions that that can help make
our food supply safer and more economical, by providing better
control over these ever-emerging complex biological risks."
