EBPI Product Line

Muta-ChromoPlate Kit - Reverse Mutation Ames Test The Muta-ChromoPlate is a 96 well mircoplate version of the salmonella typhimurium `Ames Test`, used for the detection of mutagenic activity in sediment extracts, air, chemicals, food components, cosmetics, waste water, portable waters, pharmaceuticals, and plant extracts.

The reverse mutation assay provides a clear colour endpoint and contains all reagents and other consumable components needed to conduct the assay. The reverse mutation assay is ready-to-use and can be conducted in a non-specialized laboratory.

SOS-ChromoTest Kit - Rapid Detection for Genotoxicity A microplate genotoxicity bioassay based on the primary response of a genetically engineered bacteria to determine DNA genotoxicity damage. The SOS-ChromoTest can be used to evaluate the presence of genotoxic agents in water, wastewater, sediment, air, chemicals, food, cosmetics, and for any material that can be put into aqueous solution.

Toxic-ChromoTest Kit - Acute Toxicity Test A microplate toxicity bioassay to determine acute or chronic toxicity in water, effluents, and other liquids. The Toxi-Chromotest endpoint is either partial or complete enzyme inhibition related to toxic stress the test organism is exposed to. It’s endpoint is a simple color change that can be determined visually or using a plate reader at a wavelength of 610nm.

TOXI-ChromoPad - Sediment Contact Toxicity Test A pad toxicity bioassay to determine acute toxicity of materials found in sediments, sludge, soils, or other solid waste materials. The Toxi-ChromoPad test does not rely on the extraction of chemicals from the substrate and thus is a direct measure of biological exposure potential. It is based upon the same test organism and response as the aqueous based Toxi-ChromoTest.

MicroBioTests - Toxkit line of Products

MicroBioTests is the developer and manufacturer of the TOXKIT MICROBIOTESTS line of products. These kits are used for the detection and quantification of the toxicity of chemicals and/or solid and liquid waters which pollute aquatic and terrestrial environments. Like EBPI's line of products, all MicroBioTests products have the unique characteristics that they are culture free bioassays, which do not require stock culturing of the test organisms.
