生物战剂快速检测仪


Tetracore is a biotechnology research and development organization that develops highly innovative diagnostic reagents and assays for infectious diseases and biological warfare (BW) threat agents. The company focuses on antibody-based and nucleic acid-based detection reagents and technologies. Tetracore offers a broad range of highly-specific, rapid, antibody-based test kits and antibody reagents for the detection of BW infectious agents and toxins, including the first FDA cleared test kit for identification of B. anthracis from colonies. Tetracore also offers a product line of real-time, probe hydrolysis Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) test kits for sensitive and specific detection of animal pathogens. In addition, Tetracore contracts with the US Government for development of: real-time PCR diagnostic tests for BW agents, novel nucleic acid extraction procedures, and specialized nucleic acid products.

The four founding scientists, Gary Long, Ph. D., Beverly L. Mangold, Ph.D. Thomas W. O'Brien, Ph.D., and William M. Nelson, M.D. (CDR, US Navy Ret.), have been leaders in the development of state-of-the-art diagnostic technology for use by the Joint Program Office for Bio-defense (JPO), the Department of Defense (DOD), FBI, and DOE. These scientists bring their extensive expertise and skills to Tetracore Inc. in order to provide these same organizations with an expanded production capability, greater flexibility in the development of new technology, and the ability to innovate in an entrepreneurial atmosphere

Tetracore's strong scientific team and powerful technology base positions the company at the forefront in the development and production of today's important detection tools for Clinical, Veterinary, and Domestic Preparedness Testing:

Clinical:

• RedLine Alert (TM), an antibody-based test kit for use as an aid in the clinical laboratory identification of Bacillus anthracis colonies

Veterinary:

• VetAlert(TM), real-time PCR and rt-PCR kits for use in detection of bacterial and viral pathogens of animals, including tests for Foot-and-mouth disease virus, West Nile virus, and Classical Swine Fever virus

Domestic Preparedness:

• BioThreat Alert®, antibody-based test kits for use by first responders in detection of biological terrorism-related infectious agents and toxins in suspicious samples, including tests for anthrax, plague, tularemia, botulinum toxin, ricin toxin, brucella, abrin, orthopox, BW simulants and SEB toxin

Antibody Products:

• A wide range of antibodies and ELISA tests for your research use.
