Product news

Biokit has announced the limited release of the BIO-FLASH system, along with eleven BIO-FLASH reagents for use in the Infectious Diseases (ID) field. The system uses magnetic particle separation with flash chemiluminescent detection to deliver exceptional clinical performance.

The BIO-FLASH immunoassay system is a fully automated, random access, multiparametric, benchtop system. It offers immunoassays with high sensitivity and extremely large dynamic ranges. The system is supported by the CE mark registrations granted to all the components involved in the project (instrument, consumables, reagents, calibrators and controls).

The eleven BIO-FLASH ID reagents available represent the first wave to be released for the instrument. There are nine more under development including Syphilis and HIV tests.

The system is simple to use, with self-contained, ready to use, precalibrated reagent cartridges. The system is fast and efficient with continuous sample loading and can process up to 64 tests per hour. The chemiluminescent technology provides accurate and reliable results.

MicrobiologyMicrobiology is the study of microorganisms including protists, prokaryotes, fungi, and, often, viruses. Microorganisms are a useful research tool as genetic vectors and, in immunology, for antibiotic susceptibility testing, cellular biology and genetics. Microorganisms commonly grow readily in incubators with microbial culture media; this can contain chromogenic supplements to differentiate between cell lines. Estimate your culture’s density of microorganisms with colony counters, or screen and select colonies for desirable clones with automated colony pickers. Additionally, equipment is available to monitor environments for the presence of microbes and identify with microbial identification instruments.

Immunology kits and analysis systems often use techniques such as ELISA, radioimmunoassay (RIA) and immunodiffusion assays, Immunohistochemistry, and flow cytometry. Immunologists use equipment such as flow Cytometers, plate readers, plate washers and fluorescent microscopes.Clinical ChemistryBiochemistry (or clinical chemistry) involves the analysis of bodily fluids using chemical tests. Techniques used include HPLC, chromatography, spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, immunochemical, electrophoresis, turbidometric / spectrophotometric assay, MRI and ISE analysis. Tests are often carried out on plasma or serum but urine (urinalysis) and fecal specimens are also processed.Clinical MicrobiologyMicrobiology is the study of microorganisms including protists, prokaryotes, fungi, and, often, viruses.

Effective detection, prevention, and treatment are crucial to control outbreaks and improve public health. Diagnostic tools, vaccines, and antimicrobial treatments are essential components of managing these diseases. Research into emerging pathogens and resistance patterns continues to evolve.
