Training Programme

Bioversity: Pathogen Screening in Food

In collaboration with bioMérieux India

Dates
18–19 Aug 2026
Duration
2 days · Hands-on lab Training
Venue
Vimta Labs Campus, Hyderabad
Fee
From ₹10,000 + GST

Vimta Labs, Hyderabad, in collaboration with bioMérieux India, opens the second Bioversity training session of 2026 — a two-day curated course on pathogen screening in food samples.

The session provides in-depth grounding in food safety microbiology and pairs it with hands-on experience of the advanced automated systems used for microbiology testing in food. Participants work through sample preparation, enrichment, conventional culture methods and automated detection on the bench rather than watching a demonstration.

The course is designed for practising microbiologists from laboratories across the country.

Topics covered

Thirteen modules across two days, from farm-to-fork microbiology through to molecular screening methods.

  • Understanding industry microorganisms — farm to fork
  • International and Indian regulations for food testing
  • GENE-UP as part of the food safety training programme
  • Understanding different food matrices and pathogens
  • Sample preparation — dilution and blending
  • Pre-enrichment of samples — media and enrichment process
  • Conventional methods for food pathogen testing
  • Media, principles and matrices in pathogen testing
  • FSSAI norms for pathogen screening
  • Understanding VIDAS
  • Testing pre-enriched samples on the VIDAS system
  • Orientation on molecular methods for pathogen screening in food
  • Assessment quiz
