The issue with Salmonella, E. coli, Listeria, etc. has always been margins. It is easy to come up with a rapid diagnostic. If you don't have reagents and associated instrumentation, you're likely to work very hard for almost nada.

Tell us about margins -- what they are and how they'll be maintained. These are not new concepts, and this is the six year chart characteristic of a company that is doing solid work on low-margin projects.......

Kramer -

I would guess that on e coli at least the Igen test is already past the neog test. The analysis I saw showed it about two orders of magnitude more sensitive than standard e coli tests, which translates into quicker results, as you don't have to let things incubate as long.
