Idaho Technology BioThreat Detection
Idaho Technology leads in the development of reliable and sensitive BioThreat detection instruments. Known for its history of releasing innovative instruments, Idaho Technology produced the first ruggedized PCR-based instrument in 1999, the R.A.P.I.D.®, making possible lab quality results in the field. Other products include the NEW FilmArray and RAZOR EX instruments along with freeze-dried reagent kits, and sample purification kits.
RAZOR™ EX BioThreat Detection System – A hand-carry instrument designed specifically for field use that provides sensitive and reliable detection and identification of biological threats using cutting-edge PCR technology. The battery operated instrument weighs 11 lbs, operates with freeze-dried reagents, and requires minimal sample preparation which means that it can be used anywhere by military, civil defense, and security personnel. Reliable positive/negative results for 10 pathogens are available in just 30 minutes.
NEW- FilmArray Biological Detection System – A multi-use instrument utilized to screen bioterrorism pathogens or diagnose clinical conditions such as respiratory diseases. This laboratory-based instrument integrates advanced sample preparation with sensitive PCR technology within a compact, easy-to-use instrument. Minimal hands-on time or training is required to operate the FilmArray, just hydrate the assay pouch, inject the unknown sample, and load into the instrument. The FilmArray automatically analyzes the data and provides positive / negative calls in 1 hour. The BioThreat Pouch, used with the FilmArray, contains 25 assays covering Category A and B Bioterrorism pathogens.
