We're Serious About Serotypes
Ancera's Salmonella System Monitoring (SSM) Platform persistently monitors for hidden patterns among Salmonella Serotypes present in the supply chain.
By monitoring at a level of unprecedented granularity, live production can identify their intervention efficacy, implement improvements and reduce Salmonella entering the plant.

Improved Food Safety
Characterize the Salmonella serotype profile across live production to prevent threats from entering the plant. Ancera’s Deep Serotyping identifies threat trends and anomalies at the earliest stages of production, protecting against Human Health Concern (HHC) serotypes and brand reputation damage.

Supply Chain Risk Monitoring
Access a significantly deeper level of microbial threat data with Deep Serotyping technology using CRISPR-SeroSeq. Ancera’s Platform persistently analyzes data and reports trends by risk level.

Improved Intervention Efficacy
Implement highly effective interventions based on historical trend analysis and persistent monitoring data. Ancera’s platform allows Live Ops, Food Safety, and Veterinarians to understand which interventions are working and how to improve sub-optimal programs.
Empowering Teams with New Visibility
Ancera's SSM introduces a new paradigm. One where food safety and food production collaborate with a common goal and common operating language: data.

Reduce the risk of Salmonella entering the plants, increasing operational continuity.

Prevent Salmonella Serotypes of Human Health Concern (HHC) from entering downstream operations.

Improve brand equity through food safety leadership. Avoid costly recalls and stay ahead of regulatory changes.

Understand which interventions are working and which are not through deep serotype profiles.

Ensure Salmonella intervention costs are deployed in the most cost effective manner.

Access structured data with new levels of granularity. Risk stratification data allows for highly accurate trend analysis.

Monitoring Overview
Ancera analyzes genetic sequences from key areas of production to create a serotype profile.
Ancera's analytics pipeline prepares a digital report.
Poultry companies understand which interventions are working and which aren't. Companies apply data to make improvements to their interventions.
Leveraging CRISPR - SeroSeq Technology
Current Salmonella surveillance protocols rely on characterizing a few colonies to represent an entire sample. Ancera provides acensus of all present serotypes using CRISPR - SeroSeq.
Detect low abundance Senterica in a mixed population
Detect multiple serovars in asingle sample
Differentiate between Salmonella strains in a mixed sample
“To fully comprehend the risks posed by Salmonella in different agricultural systems or environments, serovar diversity should also be considered.”

FAQ
Ancera is the only company to use CRISPR-SeroSeq for live production monitoring. Ancera’s non-invasive collection methodology generates statistically significant samples on a regular cadence and analyzed through a cloud-based platform.
The platform’s analytics engine calculates a risk profile based on the area of production and a profile of the serovars present in each sample.
No methodology prior to Ancera’s Salmonella System Monitoring has been able to deploy at the cost, scale and comprehensiveness needed by live operations teams. Our monitoring platform saves time and money, by automating data collection and analysis. Previous methods of isolate vs media require extensive microbiological testing and re-sampling.
Data is delivered in a digital format that is completely private to your organization. Data are sent regularly to analyze historical trends and detect new threat intelligence generated through our persistent monitoring platform.
Our methodology focuses on reliable detection of all serotypes present in a sample and generating risk analytics for our customers. If you require direct quantification of salmonellae in addition to detection of all present serotypes we are open to adding a complementary assay based on your objectives and our capabilities.
In a vacuum, no single assay will move an establishment from Category 2 or 3 to Category 1. SSM provides the best understanding of existing Salmonella serotype status across all sampled parts of the supply chain, but the customer needs to apply these insights to reduce risk and implement cost-effective improvements to their process
