Company

A novel electromagnetic field technology aimed at controlling cell reproduction to reduce microbiological load in wheat flour. This approach uses cell-specific EM frequencies to inhibit cell replication, offering a unique method for food safety enhancement.

Overview

CytoEM Innovations presents a groundbreaking technology utilizing electromagnetic (EM) fields to control and inhibit cell reproduction in wheat flour. This innovative approach leverages cell-specific EM frequencies to reduce the microbiological load in flour, enhancing food safety and extending shelf life. By targeting the electrical activity inherent in both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells, this technology provides a novel, non-chemical method for microbial control.

Technical specifications
  • Cell-Specific EM Fields: Utilizes frequencies and magnitudes tailored to match the endogenous EM activity of cells.
  • Electrically Active Cytoskeleton: Exploits intrinsic electrical oscillations generated by the cytoskeleton to influence cell behavior.
  • Interferometric Exposure Device: A custom device designed for precise application of digitized EM signals.
  • Algorithm-Based Signal Analysis: Decomposes and reconstructs cell-specific frequency spectra for targeted EM application.
Technology readiness level

The technology is currently at Technology Readiness Level 4, having been validated through laboratory research and targeted experimental procedures. Future validation will involve constructing a fully functional prototype to test on commercially available wheat flour samples.
