MIT is currently working on a series of Salmonella identifiers, we should get news of this soon as it was announced in July of 2014. Contrary to what you say, Northern Michigan University is still working on the four to five hour test turnaround time, I know this per my recent conversation with Dr. Sharp at NMU. Obviously NMU is getting funds from MMTC, how else would they still be working on the four to five hour test turnaround time. I don't think many realize just how big a total test turnaround time of four to five hours would be, it would be a game changer for MMTC!

The S. Choleraesuis Identifier is available now and will soon undergo AOAC Certification. The MIT 1000 is a rapid, bacterial cell-based detection and identification system that can identify pathogenic bacteria, now including Salmonella Choleraesuis, in three minutes (average). At a cost of $4.00 per test, the MIT 1000 is less than half the industries average cost of a pathogen test.
Meanwhile, MIT is working on a series of Salmonella Identifiers including the common food pathogens S. Heidelberg, S. Enteritidis and S. Typhimurium.
