History

Crystal Diagnostics emerged over ten years ago from a pioneering research collaboration between Kent State University and Northeast Ohio Medical University (NEOMED). At its core, the company has always been driven by a mission to revolutionize the detection of foodborne pathogens by leveraging innovative liquid crystal technology for automation solutions. Throughout the years, we've collaborated with an extensive network of notable universities, research institutions, and government agencies. Our enduring aim is to illuminate and advocate for a highly accurate and successful alternative to conventional PCR testing methods. Through our dedication to education and research excellence, we strive to advance the field of pathogen detection, ensuring safer food supply chains worldwide.

Case Study: Exploring the Efficacy of Crystal Diagnostics AutoXpress System in Detecting E. coli O157 in Beef Trim

Dive into our detailed case study conducted in partnership with a leading global Third Party Laboratory Group, which evaluates the effectiveness of the Crystal Diagnostics (CDx) AutoXpress (AX) system against a leading commercial real-time PCR platform in detecting E. coli O157 in beef trim samples. This field trial analyzed 144 samples across various testing conditions, showcasing the precision and reliability of the CDx AX system. Notably, our system accurately identified all spiked samples without any false positives, compared to the PCR System, which did identify several false positives.
