Immunoassay field test results in under 20 minutes

Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Oct 17, 2001

SDI's Immunoassay field test system is available for the determination of PAH's, TPH, PCB's, explosive residues and pesticides, with qualitative, semi-quantitative, or quantitative results

Reliability, ease-of-use and ability to deliver fast results are often the features and benefits most appreciated by users of instruments for remediation, assessment, industrial testing and environmental monitoring.

SDI Europe supply diagnostic tests, monitoring equipment and associated reagents for a wide range of industrial, environmental and water treatment applications.

Immunoassay testing, performed on-site by field personnel, is a well recognized practice for significantly reducing project costs by eliminating the delays and expense associated with off-site laboratory analysis.

Site characterization and remediation project decisions can be made quickly and confidently, speeding up site work and maximizing the efficiency of project resources.

SDI's Immunoassay field test system is a new addition to a range of products which enables users to perform on-site tests to determine contaminants in a reliable, ease-to-use and cost-effective instrument.

SDI's immunoassay test kits can provide three types of analytical results; qualitative (absence or presence at a given level), semi-quantitative (greater or less than two or more action levels), or quantitative (numerical index in ppb/ppm) data results.

The Immunoassay field test kit is available for the determination of PAH's, TPH, PCB's, explosive residues and pesticides.

These are available for a wide range of matrices including soil, water, sediments and sludges.

However, protocols for many other matrices are available on request.

SDI's immunoassay field test kits are rapid, analytical results are available in as little as 20 minutes, they are easy-to-use with little or no training required by field personnel and they are accurate, with proven performance in thousands of projects.

They are also convenient as everything required for testing is supplied in fully portable packages and they are economical because rapid data availability helps to reduce overall project costs.
