FP ASSAYS OFFER RAPID, ACCURATE RESULTS, SAVING YOU TIME & MONEY!

Time and money are precious commodities when faced with contagious infection of animal herds or pathogen contamination of food or feed supplies.

Fluorescence Polarization assays offer a number of significant benefits compared to traditional test methods:

RAPID

· Unrivalled speed, with test completion in as little as a few seconds to less than one hour, depending upon the matrix of the system and the antibody or pathogen to be tested.

· Requires no washing steps or long incubation

EASY

· One-step solution

· May be performed in a laboratory or field setting

· Few reagents required, and the reagents are provided in the test kits

· Simple assays that do not require highly trained/skilled technicians to perform the tests

ACCURATE

· Leading performance, yielding qualitative results for animal diseases and qualitative or quantitative results for food pathogens

· Sensitivity and Specificity equivalent to or greater than traditional methods (animal diseases)

· Can detect pathogens at low parts per million (PPM) or parts per billion (PPB), depending upon the pathogen and matrix

SAFE

· Reagents used in FP assays are safe, requiring no use of dangerous acids or enzymes

COST EFFECTIVE

· Rapid results:

Þ Means more tests can be run in a shorter period of time than with traditional methods, resulting in the need for fewer technicians or permitting increases in throughput without additional staff

Þ May eliminate the need for costly repeat testing by veterinarians

Þ Permits quick determination of contaminated incoming grain, avoiding cross-contamination with previously received grain at storage silos or grain elevators

· Ease of use eliminates the need for highly trained, more costly technicians

VERSATILE

· Can be applied to various matrices including serum, whole blood, milk, juices, and water
