Every second counts in an emergency. Detect and identify biothreats
quickly and easily with Dräger Bio-agent Test Kits. In 10 to 15 minutes
(3 minutes for high concentrations), these accurate screening kits
provide for presumptive identification, preliminary assessment, and
response to Anthrax, Ricin, Botulinum, Y. pestis, and/or SEB where
time is critical. Results should be confirmed by more specific analytical
methods for clearance. Ideal for bio-preparedness programs, Bio-agent
Test Kits are available with tests for individual toxins or with simultaneous
tests for the fast detection of 5 biological toxins. Training sets
provide practice for evaluating and handling scenarios. Tests are packaged
individually in a re-sealable pouch.

| Method: |
Rapid hand-held immunoassay with polyclonal antibodies |
| Results: |
Viewable with the naked eye after 10 to 15 minutes (high concentrations
after 3 minutes).
Do not interpret results after 30 minutes. |
| Shelf-life: |
2 years
|
| Temperature: |
Storage: 40 to 90 F (4 to 32 C)
Usage: 40 to 120 F (4 to 49 C) |
| Humidity: |
Above 80% can slow results. Do not use in direct rain. |
| Application: |
Use on non-porous surfaces only. Do not use in areas that contain
excessive dust or dirt or are suspected of containing an excessive
concentration of the suspected agent. Not suitable for sampling
soil. |
