Product catalog summary

Overview
The Portable Toxin Detector (pTD) is an advanced identification platform designed for the automated and specific detection of biological toxins associated with biological warfare agents (BWA). It utilizes an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) procedure, where antibodies immobilized on gold electrodes capture toxins from liquid samples. The detection is achieved by measuring the electrical current from an enzymatic redox reaction, correlating to the amount of target molecules bound to the antibodies. The entire process is completed in under 25 minutes.

Key Features

Simultaneous detection of five BWA-relevant toxins.
Ready-to-use kits for assay performance.
Plug and play operation with disposable chipsticks.
Integration capability into sensor networks.
System extendable to new biological threat agents.
