What does Yarok Microbio do?
Yarok Microbio has developed a new technology for the fast detection of dangerous microbes (E. coli, listeria, salmonella, yeasts & molds and more) and plant pathogens for agriculture and the entire food supply chain. The new technology aims to protect consumers, avoid product recalls, save production costs, and empower farmers and food producers. Yarok reduces the time necessary for the accurate detection and count of pathogenic microbes to 45 minutes, and offers off-the-shelf tools and an on-location microbiological laboratory. Uses include fast testing of finished products, raw materials, and valuable crops. Yarok's system is based on kits with proprietary reagents and bio-analytical software used with affordable off-the-shelf laboratory equipment. The company has funded successful R&D projects (e.g. prototypes in use, third-party validations, patent filing, etc.) solely through revenue-generating prototype licensing and grants. Yarok received the 2017 Award for Agribusiness Innovation by the UN Industrial Development Organization, and in 2019 was named a Top 5 Disruptive Innovation by the Institute of Food Technologists.
