A food defense system configured to perform specific food defense related assays on-site at a food production-related facility, comprising:
- a housing;
- at least one assay station mounted within the housing;
- at least one reagent station mounted within the housing;
- a supply of assay vessels residing within the housing;
- a conveyance unit configured to move assay vessels to at least one assay station;
- and
- a controller operatively connected with at least one of the at least one assay station, the conveyance unit, and the at least one reagent station.
A food defense system configured to perform specific food defense related assays on-site at a food production-related facility, comprising:
- a housing;
- a plurality of assay stations mounted within the housing;
- a plurality of reagent stations mounted within the housing;
- a supply of assay vessels residing within the housing;
- a conveyance unit configured to move the assay vessels to one or more of the assay stations;
- and
- a controller operatively connected with at least one of the assay stations, the conveyance unit, and the reagent stations.
