BioCheck was designed for responders specificically for ease of use, low cost and fast results, BioCheck functions as an initial biological screen by performing a highly sensitive positive protein test. Often used as the first step in conjunction with other sophisticated dection instrumentations, BioCheck was developed specifically to allow first responders to quickly rule out the presense of any biological pathagen and quickly restore confidence, preventing widescale evacuations.
