The mmtc MIT 1000 doesn't "do food"...pure cultures only.

could there be a possibility that one day the general public also has access to a central database with all of the known foods/pet foods/baby foods the library?

Nice thought, though...

The FDA has just what your talking about. There are clouds going on in food testing with USDA and FDA. MMTC may be a part of this scene in the near future. What investors need to realize is the big picture . . . the market and the changes in food safety rules on an international level within the last year. This is just one example. Take a look at the Exelnet:


As part of the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), signed by President Obama on January 4th, 2011, FDA's approach to food-borne illness is shifting from post-outbreak reaction, to early detection and prevention of contamination. As part of this new effort eLEXNET becomes the central food testing repository that will allow for the sharing of food testing data among various government agencies in a timely manner. This effort will provide a key tool in early detection of food related outbreaks.
The Electronic Laboratory Exchange Network (eLEXNET) is a seamless, integrated, secure network that allows multiple government agencies engaged in food safety activities to compare, communicate, and coordinate findings of laboratory analyses. eLEXNET enables health officials to assess risks, analyze trends and provides the necessary infrastructure for an early-warning system that identifies potentially hazardous foods. eLEXNET is a program funded by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and supported by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Department of Defense (DoD). The eLEXNET project received the Department of Health and Human Services Secretary's Award from Secretary Tommy G. Thompson in June 2001, "For outstanding contributions to the successful development of the first electronic network to exchange laboratory data among federal, state, and local food safety agencies."

You will need the MIT 1000 to do the detection of the pathogens. The library data base would be accessed through the cloud. The library of pathogens is a source of income for MMTC.

I would also think the test results will be available to customers/testers and to government agencies real time through the cloud. I hate to pop anyone's bubble but the cloud is just an external hard drive (external server), the cool thing is you can access it from anywhere. MMTC is using the cloud and that makes all the easier to use the MIT 1000 and comply with new regulations. IMHO go MMTC!!!!
