Ancera raises funds to launch single-cell transport food safety technology
Ancera is positioned to play a critical role in planning and monitoring a hierarchy of control measures that provide companies with deeper clarity and actionable outcomes in food production.
Ancera, Inc., Branford, Conn., raised $8.9 million in Series A financing to commercialize its single-cell transport technology.
Ancera’s patented MagDrive technology analyzes contamination in food sources in near real-time enabling rapid, straightforward detection and quantification of microbial threats. Glass Capital, an existing investor in Ancera, led the funding round with participation from Packers Sanitation Services (PSSI), a Kieler, Wis.-based leader of cleaning and sanitation services for the food industry, and Metabiota, a San Francisco-based pioneer in epidemic risk analytics.
