Dave Alburty, CEO, explains how InnovaPrep products can be used together for same shift answers.
Dave explains the important differences and values of efficiency vs concentration factors for pathogen detection.
InnovaPrep’s tools for concentration include:
The Concentrating Pipette
The Large Volume Concentration (LVC) Kit-
Dave provides an overview of rapid beer spoilage concentration using the InnovaPrep Concentrating Pipette for same-shift result.
The poster A Rapid and Efficient Sample Preparation Method for Spoilage Organism Detection in American Lager Beer was presented at the 2018 ASBC Brewing Summit, by Michael Hornback, PhD.

Dave provides an overview of public health applications using the InnovaPrep Concentrating Pipette. This poster was presented at the ASM Biodefense Conference 2019, titled Mini Meta Study: Improved Pathogen Detection of Air, Surface and Liquid Samples through Rapid Concentration which gives an overview of the following publications:
Detection of an Avian Lineage Influenza A(H7N2) Virus in Air and Surface Samples at a New York City Feline Quarantine Facility Francoise M.Blachere et al. CDC NIOSH published: 16 May 2018.
Comparison of Methods to Determine the Microbial Quality of Alternative Irrigation Waters Hsin-Bai Yina, Universityof Maryland, and Jitu Patel, Department of Nutrition and USDA ARS,Environmental Microbial and Food Safety Laboratory published in the Journalof Agriculture Water Management.
Characterization of Aspergillus Fumigatus Isolates from Air and Surfaces of the International Space Station published in the ASM mSphere Journal by University of Wisconsin—Madison and the Biotechnology and Planetary Protection Group, at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory describes Microbial Observatory Experiments on the International Space Station (ISS) using a method of recovering surface samples that included the InnovaPrep Concentrating Pipette.
In this segment, Dave explains the Concentrating Pipette’s ability to concentrate viruses and compatibility of the system’s elution fluids on infectivity assays vs rapid molecular methods.
