Abstract

A movement toward high throughput screening (HTS) is necessary to meet the ever-expanding needs of the food safety community. In an effort to meet these needs, the development and application of HTS techniques are constantly and quickly evolving. This chapter provides an overview of the pathogens and commodities of greatest concern for seafood safety. The progression of the development and application of available rapid screening methods for these pathogens will be presented, including traditional methods and potential modification of those to increase sample throughput. The contemporary, rapid detection methods that can facilitate HTS of seafood will be emphasized. Commercially available systems and future trends for HTS in seafood will also be briefly described.

    The sensitivity of LAMP reaction is very high due to the application of 4 primers which recognize or binds to the 6 distinct region of the DNA [70]. The process is named as ‘Loop mediated’, due to the design of the primer, because in LAMP the selected primer is not perfectly complement to the target DNA rather it forms a loop like structure, which further helps to increase the amplification rate of the reaction [71]. Itou et al. also reported that the detection limit of LAMP is higher than that of PCR.
