Pathogen Risk Detection System for Biosecurity
Kraken Sense's pathogen detection platform - KRAKEN™ transforms biosecurity and military defence with groundbreaking biosurveillance capabilities. It provides swift, on-site detection, eliminating reliance on specialized labs, and thereby reducing contamination risks. Its real-time analysis optimizes resource allocation and delivers results in just 60 minutes, maintaining a remarkably low detection limit of 1 copy. This redefines efficiency and safety standards in contaminant testing which is crucial for military protection and biosecurity measures.
The KRAKEN™ device stands as a revolutionary solution addressing critical gaps in biosurveillance, public health testing, and biosecurity. Across regions, especially in remote and indigenous communities, access to effective biosurveillance and public health testing remains a challenge. Conventional methods, often reliant on specialized laboratory setups, struggle to reach these areas due to logistical barriers. Yet, the KRAKEN™ platform redefines accessibility by offering autonomous sampling and real-time analysis without the need for dedicated BSL-2 laboratories.
By integrating cutting-edge real-time qPCR technology, KRAKEN™ not only speeds up the detection process but also minimizes contamination risks by eliminating the traditional need for bacterial enrichment. This advancement empowers these communities with rapid and reliable detection, ensuring their health security without compromising accuracy or safety.
With features like remote sampling, rapid 60-minute results, and a remarkable limit of detection as low as 1 copy, KRAKEN™ extends inclusivity by reaching diverse communities. It aims to ensure that effective contaminant testing is accessible to all populations, bolstering the health resilience of not just mainstream regions but also those on the margins. KRAKEN™ serves as a vital tool in fortifying communities against the threats posed by biological and chemical entities.

Biosecurity FAQs
-
Biosecurity involves practices and measures to prevent the introduction and spread of harmful organisms that can pose risks to animal, human, and plant health. It includes strategies to manage biological threats, protect food safety, and ensure public health. Key practices include controlling animal and plant diseases, managing invasive species, and implementing safety protocols in healthcare and agriculture.
-
Biosecurity is crucial as it helps prevent the spread of diseases among animals, protects human health, and ensures food safety. Understanding biosecurity's significance empowers you to help prevent animal disease outbreaks and ensure your business's stability. Effective biosecurity practices reduce the risk of disease outbreaks, safeguard animal welfare, and maintain the economic viability of farms by minimizing losses and maintaining market access. These measures are vital for sustainable agriculture and livestock production, controlling zoonotic diseases, and preventing the introduction of foreign animal diseases.
-
Improving biosecurity on farms involves implementing several key practices to prevent disease spread. Key measures include controlling farm access, maintaining hygiene through proper cleaning and disinfection, and managing waste and feed to avoid contamination. It's crucial to monitor animal health regularly, use protective clothing, and restrict visitor access to essential personnel only. Additionally, creating physical barriers and zones within the farm, such as separating clean and dirty areas, helps minimize disease transmission.
