Protego Labs · Makers of SENTRI
Build a better contamination and spoilage detection system with SENTRI, Protego’s end-to-end, real-time molecular analysis solution — a compact device that runs targeted DNA panels right where your sample is, so you get a clear answer the same day, with no outside lab and no multi-day wait.
Our Platform
SENTRI makes testing accessible across industries and environments. Compact and portable, it combines a simple sample-to-result workflow with on-screen results — so your team can get started with minimal training, no intensive lab equipment, and everything included in the kit.
Industries
Built for versatility. Deployed where you need it most.
The Spoilage Panel screens for 28 beer spoilage bacteria, 3 hop-resistance genes, Brettanomyces, and the STA1 gene associated with diastatic yeast.
Microbial contamination can cause off-flavors, haze, and overcarbonation—putting product quality and entire batches at risk. Early detection prevents costly recalls and batch losses, protecting thousands in production costs.
The Water & Non-Alcoholic Beverage Panel screens for E. coli, Salmonella, Listeria, and coliforms—with more targets coming soon.
Detect contamination early to help protect public health and reduce the risk of outbreaks, shutdowns, and costly remediation.
Test produce for microbial contamination in minutes, right where it’s collected, processed, or packaged.
Catch contamination before products ship to help prevent recalls and protect customer trust.
Test for crop pathogens and monitor plant health directly in the field, without a central lab.
Spot outbreaks before they spread across the field to help protect the season’s yield.
Why Protego
Most testing still means shipping samples away and waiting days. SENTRI makes routine, proactive testing practical because the answer comes back the same day, on site.
Chemistry designed for your needs. Whether you need a custom test, or a proven off-the-shelf assay, our panels are built to run wherever you need them.
Built for portability, durability, and ease of use, the SENTRI thrives in any environment, be it a factory, field, or a new frontier.
Turn early signals into predictive insights, anticipating spoilage and contamination risks so you can act before they escalate.
Chemistry, hardware, and AI unite to deliver greater than 99% accuracy, making spoilage and contamination detection smarter and more affordable.
One fleet. Every front. SENTRIs bring spoilage and contamination detection across your operations, putting answers within reach wherever risk emerges.
