For 25 years, EBPI has been a leader in the environmental biotechnology testing industry. With clients throughout the world, EBPI strives to continue its leadership in the international market. EBPI is dedicated to the development of user-friendly, analytical systems that will assist in the sustainable development of global economies. Research laboratories, environmental consultants, government, academia, human health and nature preservation organizations, municipalities, and many other industrial sectors use EBPI products and services. EBPI offers many necessary BioToxicitySM services, as well as novel BioToxicityPM products for the global market. Furthermore, we are fully capable of providing custom services, tailored to meet unique project requirements and individual client needs.
EBPI is welcoming a new line of toxicity tests to our growing line of bioassays. Our BioTox line of Vibrio Fischeri bioluminescent bacterial inhibition tests were developed for ISO standardization for your laboratory requirements. These Vibrio Fischeri tests include the following:
The WaterTox EVO (Evolution) Vibrio Fischeri kit is packaged as a cost effective alternative to the 1232-1000 Water Toxicity Kit. Bacterial reagents are packaged to permit less reagent waste for smaller sample numbers. The Vibrio Fischeri operation protocol has been simplified to reduce pipetting steps and a NaN3 tablet is included instead of a OAS solution. Results can be interpreted by any approved ISO luminometer.
Product No. 1243-700 The LumoPlate Vibrio Fischeri test allows complete solutions for clients requiring a more accurate and robust assay system. The LumoPlate Vibrio Fischeri assay accounts for sample coloration and turbidity and can be used for direct measurement of soil and sediment samples without time consuming correction procedures. The Vibrio Fischeri bacteria and reagents are packaged to accommodate 96 endpoints per run (10 test per kit).
LumoStix Vibrio Fischeri test includes reagents, diluent and the "LumoStix". This Vibrio Fischeri contact test allows for 20 individual measurements (Vibrio Fischeri bacteria are packaged to allow for 4 determination per vial - the LumoStix is designed to be used with the Kikkoman PD30 luminometer).
EBPI has developed and launched the contact sediment test for both detection of toxicity and genotoxicity.
The SediTox platform is based on the novel bacterial strains also used in the EBPI line of Toxi-ChromoTest, SOS-ChromoTest and the UMUChormoTest products as well as Vibrio fischeri bioluminescent bacteria.
The SediTox Kit employs a direct sediment exposure method to assess total responses from all soluble, insoluble, organic, inorganic, and volatile molecules in a given sample.
BENEFITS OF THE SEDITOX
EBPI is proud to officially announce the release of our NEW Ames bacterial strains, called the Ames-ExpressTM strains. Ames-ExpressTM strains are constructed from normal Ames bacterial strains (TA100, TA98, TA1535, TA97a, TA1538), but have been engineered to also express either human P450 or GST-theta liver enzymes internally, which promotes bioactivation of xenobiotic molecules into DNA reactive species in the absence of an S9 mix.
A few of the benefits of the Ames-Express strains include:
