Considering all factors (e.g. species, logistics etc.), the conventional method of microbial detection takes anywhere from 1-2 weeks for result. This delay in microbial detection has serious real-life consequences. For instance, in healthcare, doctors are forced to prescribe broad-spectrum antibiotics as identifying the exact cause of disease takes days to weeks. Undetected pathogens in agricultural crops and animals become a source of infection as well as contamination further along the supply chain. For low shelf-life F&B and FMCG products, the current industry practice is to ship them out without establishing their microbial safety which from time to time leads to product recalls and disease outbreaks. Ensuring the microbial safety of Water as well Pharma products is also critical but can be hampered by delayed microbial detection. About a billion people are suffering each year due to sluggish microbial detection and its annual economic burden is nearing a trillion dollars.
