Products

Xylazine lateral flow test strip (liquid/powder)

Dipstick lateral flow immunoassay for qualitative presumptive detection of xylazine in liquids and powders with a reported cut-off sensitivity of 1000 ng/mL; kit formats include strips, interpretation card and, for multi-test kits, buffer tubes and swabs. Intended for forensic/presumptive use (not an IVD).

Medetomidine lateral flow test strip (liquid/powder)

Dipstick lateral flow immunoassay for qualitative presumptive detection of medetomidine in liquids and powders with a reported cut-off sensitivity of 1000 ng/mL; supplied in high-count kits with interpretation card and instructions. Forensic/presumptive use only.

Benzodiazepine lateral flow test strip (liquid/powder)

Rapid visual lateral flow immunoassay for qualitative presumptive detection of benzodiazepines in liquids or powders with a stated cut-off concentration of 300 ng/mL; provided with interpretation resources and intended for forensic/presumptive screening.

Nitazene lateral flow test strip (liquid/powder)

Lateral flow immunoassay strip for qualitative presumptive detection of nitazene-class synthetic opioids in liquids and powders with a reported sensitivity around 2000 ng/mL; kits include test strips, microscoops and interpretation card for standardized sampling. Forensic/presumptive use only.

Fentanyl lateral flow test strip (liquid/powder)

Dipstick lateral flow immunoassay for qualitative presumptive detection of fentanyl and select analogues in liquids and powders with low reported cut-off sensitivities; intended for forensic or harm-reduction screening (not a clinical IVD).

Urinalysis reagent strips and automated urine analyzers

Reagent strip formats covering multiple parameters and reflectance-photometry urine analyzers with barcode and result storage/printing options for routine urinalysis in point-of-care and laboratory settings.
