pathotrak

Back to Partners

Mission

Pathotrak’s mission is to enable a world with fresher, safer food and make food outbreaks a thing of the past. Our approach is to eliminate food safety risks in the food industry by delivering the right technologies at the right price, technologies that will save costs for producers, time for food-safety labs, and most importantly, technologies that will save lives.


History

The original invention stems from the microfluidic research developed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the University of Maryland, College Park.  A group leader at NIST coming from the FDA recognized and encouraged the importance of the work to expedite foodborne pathogen detection, and dubbed it as the potential solution to the “100 years problem in food-safety microbial detection.” That work led to Pathotrak’s first patent, which became the 2015 Best Invention in Life Sciences at the University of Maryland, (link).


Since then, the team has developed a portfolio of new inventions focused on expediting food safety tests tailored to different food matrices, sample sizes, and pathogens.

Agro Thrive, Inc.

Back to Partners

AgroThrive is built on the belief that all organic wastes can be converted to safe and nutritious organic fertilizers.


Dragan Macura (M. Sc.) founder and CEO, has taken his passion for food safety, organic integrity, and environmental stewardship to a professional level establishing AgroThrive Inc. in Salinas Valley, CA in 2006. Progressive Digestion Process (PDP), the main technology behind AgroThrive, is the scientific bridge between industrial food waste and liquid organic fertilizer in 21 days. PDP harnesses the digesting power of microbes in spoiled organic wastes, creates biological heat that eliminates all pathogens, and reduces reliance on chemicals in soil. Our organic ingredients include concentrated plant proteins, fish and seafood waste, and other nutrients. PDP has the unique ability to convert the most difficult to handle organic materials into beneficial organic fertilizers. Thus, PDP is an innovative technology closing the loop between food waste and food production. AgroThrive is used on both certified organic and conventional acreage. AgroThrive is proud to play a significant part in environmental stewardship. The quality of the food we eat is very important, and so is the impact we leave on the environment. That’s why our goal is to build a better world for us today and for our children and grandchildren tomorrow by reducing reliance on heavy chemical and pesticide use in agriculture. Our facility in Salinas Valley, CA is also completely solar-powered.

Meras Water Solutions

Back to Partners

Meras Water Solutions was founded on the belief that we can do more for our customers. Bryan O’Connell, our founder, and CEO began his career working with water treatment companies that prized customer service and innovation. Over the years he began to see an unfortunate trend as small to medium-sized companies began to be bought up by large, international companies. Consequently, the things Bryan loved most about this business became harder and harder to find. He wanted to change that. 


Since its founding in 2004, Meras Water Solutions has focused on what matters – you. We are constantly looking for ways to customize your service and improve your experience. It is our core belief that each customer deserves the same exemplary customer service that they receive on the day of their initial meeting with one of our expert salespeople as on the last day of their treatment for the season. We are consistent because you are our priority.  


With us, you are put first. First in innovation, first in communication, and first in care. Meras Water Solutions is doing water differently. We are doing water better.Meras Water Solutions develops service programs for Industrial Water Treatment, Agricultural Water Treatment, Food Safety Water Treatment, and Legionella Risk Management Programs. Meras employs innovative engineers with a wide array of expertise that allows us to assist customers in finding customized water treatment solutions for their operation.
