General Description
All-in-one CBRNE detection and classification kit for; Industrial Chemicals, Narcotics, WMD's, Explosives and Radiological. *Also include Alexeter RAID™ 8 immunoassay for Biological substance detection. Designed for field use by first responders with limited to no chemical background.
Technical Description
The HazCat® 2.0 PRO Kit uses a liquid or solid algorithm chart (flow chart) and step-by-step instructions, utilizing reagent technology and panels of chemical and biochemical assays to identify unknown substances. The kit is specifically designed for the detection and classification of nuclear, explosive, industrial chemical, narcotics and biological potentials utilizing immunoassays for the detection of anthrax, plague, tularemia, brucellosis, smallpox, SEB, botulinum toxin, and ricin toxin, as well as screens for non-biological materials and pesticides.
