How to Choose Test Kits for Biological Weapons
Testing for biological weapons is already a daunting task. The last thing first responders need to question is the calibre of their detection devices. That’s why Advnt Biotechnologies develops and manufactures first communicator test kits that address the five most important things to look for in biological warfare detection devices – 1) ease-of-use, 2) no need for additional any equipment, 3) immediacy of results, 4) reliability and 5) shelf life. ome detection systems require some in-depth training. That’s not the case with Advnt’s Pro Strips and BADD devices, both of which test for anthrax, botulism, ricin, Y. pestis and SEB’s. Advnt’s easy-to-use simulation training kits and threat dust simulation powder is all the training that’s necessary, though a free training CD is acquirable upon request.
Additional equipment is sometimes required for biological warfare detection devices. Again, that is not the case with Pro Strips or BADD test kits. You need no batteries, Guardian reader or any costly electronics to use and read the results.
Waiting for results for the presence of biological weapons wastes precious time. That’s why manufacturers of detection devices must be diligent in their efforts to continually minimize this move time. Advnt Biotechnologies has done just that. Each single one of their tests – for anthrax, botulism, ricin,pesis and SEB’s – returns results in as tiny as three minutes.
Of course, the immediacy of results means tiny without accuracy. In the primeval days of detection devices for biological warfare weapons, tests weren’t always reliable. And even today, some detection devices are not as sensitive as others, imperfectness to refer specific threats. On the contrary, the accuracy of Pro Strips and BADD first communicator test kits is 100 percent guaranteed!
No test kit is effective indefinitely, but Advnt’s detection devices have one of the longest shelf lives of any test on the market this day – two years. Additionally, Advnt’s test kits do not require any special storage conditions throughout the products life time. Yet rather than take any chances on an ineffective test being used, these biotechnology experts advocate that first responders replace their unused devices at the two-year mark, before any degradation process can begin.
