The Predictive Potential of a Battery of Ecotoxicological Tests for Human Acute Toxicity, as Evaluated with the First 50 MEIC Chemicals

Abstract : The acute toxicities of the first 50 chemicals (dextropropoxyphene hydrochloride excluded) of the multicentre evaluation of in vitrocytotoxicity (MEIC) programme were determined on four aquatic invertebrates and a bacterial strain (Photobacterium phosphoreumfor the MicrotoxTM test) commonly used in ecotoxicology testing. Three of the aquatic invertebrate tests consisted of cy

Anaplasma Assay

The rapidSTRIPE Anaplasma Assay is a ready-to-use PCR kit for sensitive, highly specific detection of Anaplasma phagocytophilum. The test is performed using bacterial DNA that was previously isolated from ticks using the blackPREP Tick DNA Kit (for example). Nucleic acids are then introduced into a combined amplification and hybridization reaction. If the results are positive, the PCR product ...
