Products
Lateral flow assay kits (colloidal gold and fluorescent formats)
Ready-to-use lateral flow kits in colloidal-gold and multiple fluorescent label formats (quantum dots, europium, phycoerythrin) for rapid detection of antibodies, toxins and small-molecule analytes; kits typically include dipsticks, running buffer, controls and 96-well support plates.
ELISA kits for environmental toxins (96-well)
96-well ELISA kits for quantitative detection of environmental toxins (e.g., microcystin, cylindrospermopsin, brevetoxin, okadaic acid) with provided standards, protocols and stated incubation times.
Nucleic acid extraction and qPCR detection kits
DNA/RNA isolation kits tailored for plant and algal biomass and a range of real-time PCR detection kits targeting toxin biosynthesis genes and species identification; products include reagents and are noted as compatible with automation for higher throughput.
RNase/DNase activity and contamination test kits
Lateral flow rapid tests for nuclease contamination on liquids and surfaces and fluorimetric plate-reader assays for quantitative nuclease activity measurement; also includes nuclease inhibitors and nuclease-free reagents.
Assay development starter kits and BYO-particle packs
Starter kits that include panels of membrane/pad combinations, prototype strips, cassettes, buffers and particle-not-included BYO kits to accelerate lateral flow assay optimization.
Laboratory consumables and passive sampling sets
Supply of sample collection bottles, SPATT passive sampling bag sets, spin desalting columns, storage boxes and 96-well plates for field sampling and laboratory workflows.
