Our Core Products

We find exciting new markets and innovative uses for our ground breaking, proprietary technologies

Our core product, NESDEP® permits the detection of pathogens in less than 90 minutes, from introduction of a raw sample to the full completion of the assay.

NESDEP units are portable laboratories that can be used by a lay person without specialised training or experience. They can be used in virtually any indoor or outdoor location with access to power. Each NESDEP test kit contains a biochip programmed to test for specific biological material. Cubed Laboratories has currently developed applications for food safety, environmental testing, and medical diagnostics.

Currently available test kits cover:

E.Coli O157
E.Coli species
Listeria genus
Listeria monocytogenes
Salmonella
Campylobacter
other tests can be developed to fit the customer's needs

WHY NESDEP MATTERS

NESDEP IS UNMATCHED

IT IS THE FASTEST DNA-BASED MOLECULAR DETECTOR EVER CREATED

WHY NESDEP MATTERS

Significant
cost savings

Rapid on-site test results remove the need for expensive storage costs whilst waiting for lab results that currently take up to 10 days
Reduced storage and third-party lab costs will save millions of dollars for global Food & Beverage companies.
Liability is major issue for brands; NESDEP provides another wall of protection
Reduced testing costs equates to easier legislative compliance
Easy to use interface enables straightforward operation reducing need for costly specialized training and education

Proactive quality assurance

Reduced costs per test allows for more tests to be conducted without impacting budgets
One NESDEP device can support a new test every 35 minutes
Proactive quality assurance reduces the risk of high cost, brand damaging recalls

Competitive advantage

Typically a high volume, low margin industry, companies are seeking solutions to reduce costs and increase profits
Faster, accurate testing moves products past storage and into stores, reducing costs and improving shelf life
Supports compliance with new laws which bring stiff penalties for company and management
Increased vigilance with fewer company emergencies such as food recalls

Brand reputation
and risk reduction

Direct cost of a food recall for a large Food & Beverage company is approximately $10 million
Brand damage, litigation and lost sales can be in the billions
On site testing reduces the risk of external contamination

Societal benefits

1 in 6 Americans* get sick and 3,000 die each year from foodborne diseases. Rapid detection of food and water contamination ensures a healthier and safer society, saving lives and millions of dollars in health costs

Helps address regulatory,
industry and brand standards

In the United States, the Food Safety Modernisation Act of 2013 is the most sweeping reform of food safety laws in 70 years. The new laws shift the focus from responding to food contamination to prevention.
Significantly, the new laws widen and strengthen the inspection and penalty powers of the Food and Drug Administration including mandatory recall of food if a company fails to do it voluntarily.

How it works

NESDEP utilizes a carbon nanotube (CNT) biochip platform. It works by using a high electric field from CNT bundles between micro-electrodes in the biochip to concentrate molecules by AC Dielectrophoresis from a solution that is pumped across the biochip platform to directly identify target DNA, with the ability to identify just one cell in a sample with two base-pair discrimination.

The Technology

EXPLORE NESDEP

We've made a complex, time consuming and technical process, simple and quick.

NESDEP utilizes patented technology for rapid sample preparation, novel biochips characterized with carbon nanotubes that resist inhibition and contamination, and measurement technology that guarantees accuracy. And this is backed by additional patent pending technology that ensures the product is accurately reproduced time after time, whether it is used in the detection of pathogenic bacteria or identification of incorrectly identified food species.
