Coastaloceanvision Inc. was awarded a $300,000 Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Project Grant from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to develop a novel surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) technology for rapidly detecting and quantifying human pathogens in seafood. The SERS technology uses a higher energy laser wavelength, an innovative mixture of silver-coated nanoparticles, and a fiber optic probe designed for direct use on seafood tissues and environmental samples. Raman spectra collected with the handheld instrument will be barcoded and classified using a convolutional deep learning neural network to allow for in-situ identification and quantification of pathogens such as Escherichia coli and Vibrio parahaemolyticus. This technology aims to improve detection of total fecal coliforms in seafood reared and harvested from aquaculture farms, at point-of-sale seafood markets, and in the environment. The $300k SBIR grant from NOAA supports development of the SERS instrument from September 1, 2022 through February 28, 2023.
