The Toronto based company Safeguard Biosystems (SGBio) is developing a reusable platform for identifying bloodborne pathogenic bacteria. SGBio's unique molecular assay has the potential to replace the current standard of cell-culture based assays. Their approach offers a tremendous advantage in both reliability and efficiency of diagnosis. SGBio is collaborating with the Milstein Lab, at the University of Toronto, on the development of a Bioinformatics software platform and the construction of a diagnostic decision tree to incorporate into their device. The software will improve the effectiveness of their product by yielding a more accurate diagnosis as well as streamline the throughput of their product workflow. It will also help bring the product to market quicker with a reduced operating cost.

总部位于多伦多的公司保护生物系统（SGBIO）正在开发可重复使用的平台，用于鉴定血源性的致病细菌。 SGBIO的独特分子测定有可能替代当前基于细胞培养的测定标准。他们的方法在诊断的可靠性和效率方面都具有巨大的优势。 SGBIO与多伦多大学的米尔斯坦实验室合作开发了生物信息学软件平台，并建造诊断决策树以纳入其设备。该软件将通过产生更准确的诊断以及简化产品工作流程的吞吐量来提高其产品的有效性。这也将有助于使产品通过降低的运营成本更快地推向市场。
