The Anabaenopeptins ELISA is an immunoassay for the quantitative and sensitive detection of Anabaenopeptins in water samples. If necessary, positive samples can be confirmed by LC/MS, protein phosphatase assay, or other conventional methods. The test is a direct competitive ELISA for the detection of Anabaenopeptins. It is based on the recognition of Anabaenopeptins by specific antibodies. Toxin, when present in a sample, and an Anabaenopeptins-HRP analogue compete for the binding sites of the rabbit anti-Anabaenopeptins antibodies in solution. The anti-Anabaenopeptins antibodies are then bound by a second antibody (goat anti-rabbit) immobilized on the wells of the microtiter plate. After a washing step and an addition of the substrate solution, a color signal is generated.

The BOLTTM, a one-plate ELISA+CLIA processor, shares many features of the ThunderBolt®, with a more customizable, lower throughput and cost-effective design. The interactive user-friendly software provides a simple laboratory experience for instrument operation. The BoltTM is an instrument manufactured by Eurofins Technologies` strategic partner Gold Standard Diagnostics.

The ThunderBolt^® is an innovative 2-plate, fully automated, open platform that is compact and cost efficient. The user friendly and flexible software is capable of programming a broad range of protocols. The ThunderBolt®, an instrument manufactured by Eurofins Technologies` strategic partner Gold Standard Diagnostics, is available for both ELISA and Chemiluminescent (CLIA) applications.

The most compact ELISA reader on the market. GSD Absorbance 96 is a new category of plate readers with the mission to simplify the workflow in the laboratory. The small size of the reader, in combination with the unique open design, leads to an entirely new user experience. A simple USB connection provides both the power supply and access to the analysis software via plug-and-play.

The new RapidScan ST5-W lateral flow reader is specifically designed for field and in-process testing applications requiring qualitative to semi-quantitative test results. This portable instrument is a highly flexible, easy to use and accurate imaging platform used for lateral flow assay analysis. RapidScan ST5-W is unique to the market with its flexibility, multiple target analysis and its compatibility with applications for Eurofins Technologies’ allergen, GMO, glyphosate and algal toxins lateral flow tests. The reader performs well both in laboratories and in field testing environments, where quick results are needed for contamination analysis. With a data storage capacity of up to 5000 test results, reports are easy to create and export.

The Anatoxin-a Strip Test for Water is a rapid immunochromatographic test, designed solely for use in the qualitative screening of Anatoxin-a in fresh water. The Anatoxin-a Strip Test provides only preliminary qualitative test results. If necessary, positive samples can be confirmed by ELISA, HPLC or other conventional methods. The test is based on the recognition of Anatoxin-a by specific antibodies. The toxin conjugate competes for antibody binding sites with Anatoxin-a that may be present in the water sample. The test device consists of a vial containing specific antibodies for Anatoxin-a labeled with a gold colloid and a membrane strip to which a conjugate of the toxin is attached. A control line, produced by a different antibody/antigen reaction, is also present on the membrane strip.

The Microcystins Tube Kit is an immunoassay for the quantitative and sensitive screening of Microcystins and Nodularins in water samples. This test is suitable for the quantitative and/or qualitative screening of Microcystins and Nodularins in drinking and recreational water samples. Samples requiring regulatory action should be confirmed by HPLC, GC/MS, or other conventional methods. The test is a direct competitive ELISA based on the recognition of Microcystins, Nodularins, and their congeners by specific antibodies.

Microcystins Field Screen, Accessory pack, Lysing, Freeze-thaw, 20-test. Sample preparation protocol for the rapid lysis of algal bloom samples prior to ELISA testing with the Eurofins Abraxis Microcystins-ADDA and ADDA SAES, Microcystins-DM, Microcystins Tube Kits, and Microcystins Strip Tests.

Vitamins are essential nutrients for the growth, development, and maintenance of cells, tissues, and organs. Vitamins are classified as either water-soluble or fat-soluble. For humans, there are 13 vitamins: 4 fat-soluble (A, D, E, and K) and 9 water-soluble (8 B vitamins and vitamin C). These nutrients are typically obtained through the consumption of food or dietary supplements, which are subject to vitamin testing in order to meet specific labeling requirements.
