Michigan Research Institute is a not for profit research corporation whose mission is to identify new technologies residing in Universities, Federal Labs and private corporations that can be further developed to meet critical national needs. Working in conjunction with partners in Federal and State Governments, Academia and the private sector, MRI manages technology development and demonstration projects which result in new products and industries. MRI's national relevance is evident from its diverse projects. In partnership with Diamond Automation of Michigan and the Food and Drug Administration, MRI is developing a process to protect the U.S. shell egg supply from salmonella and avian flu. Using microwave energy, it is now possible to economically pasteurize an egg and prevent food borne illness. The MRI project has resulted in the design of a fully automated production line capable of pasteurizing 24, 000 eggs per hour which will be installed at various egg producers in the U.S.
