This interview details Pathotrak, a company based in the United States. The interview is with Javier Atencia, PhD, CEO & Founder of Pathotrak.
Pathotrak was founded as a spin-off from the University of Maryland by Javier Atencia in December 2014. Initially established as an LLC, it converted to a C-corp in 2019. The company's origin traces back to a successful 'product fit' discovered from customer interviews during a DC-node I-Corps program.
Pathotrak will need to navigate the landscape of food-safety detection kits, where consolidation of food-safety laboratories and competition with major players like bioMerieux, Hygiena, Bio-Rad, and 3M are significant factors. Establishing exclusive partnerships will be crucial for dominating the market for rapid food safety testing.
Pathotrak's technology offers a unique proposition as it does not replace existing commercial detection systems but enhances them to operate with dramatically faster workflows. Their technology is the first to enable the detection of Salmonella and E. coli in meats within the sensitivity required by FDA BAM protocols in less than an 8-hour work shift.
Pathotrak’s technology can significantly reduce the time for obtaining food-safety results, which is vital for the indoor farming industry. Their development of a disposable device and a complete set of instruments, procedures, and protocols aims to streamline the process from sample reception to PCR results in less than 6 hours. This rapid testing capability is crucial for industries like indoor farming, where quick turnaround times can greatly enhance productivity and safety.
