David Haavig said some months ago that the Bardot is not near being approved by the AOAC. David Haavig is chief scientist and the physicist responsible for the MIT 1000. David graduated from Purdue University with His Doctorate in Physics in 1986. From that time, David has been concentrating his life on the MIT 1000. In saying that, MMTC is not short the information on products being worked at Purdue U.

From my understanding, in order to receive certification from the AOAC, the Bardot must perform equal to or better than the MIT 1000. This kind of competition keeps the best products on top. This might be the reason the Bardot is sitting on the sidelines. With the next model of the MIT 1000 on it's way, I sincerely doubt the Bardot will catch up. With this, because the Bardot is not yet approved, it may be a signal to food companies saying the MIT 1000 is better. Don't get me wrong, the Bardot is fantastic; that is, if there wasn't the MIT 1000 sitting next to it.

I personally witnessed the MIT 1000 in a test for Listeria. There was not a whole culture. In fact, the tiny, round-looking listeria was hardly visible. I saw the lab tech carefully lift the balled pathogen with expert precision as the cultured bug was being transferred. The test came out positive in less than 3 minutes. The Bardot will not be able to do that. The Bardot must use a complete fingerprint or growth. You see, as bacteria seem to grow in a different pattern, that pattern can then be read by laser. The MIT 1000 does not work that way. The MIT 1000 has the ability to see a bug and does not need too much culture. However, a culture is still needed in the process for now.
