| Relaunch
of RIDA®QUICK
DON |
The
R-Biopharm group are pleased to announce
the launch of a new version of RIDA®QUICK
DON (R5904). The new format offers
several advantages over the previous
test. Interpretation of results is
now easier; a visible test band appears
for positive
samples and no line is visible for
negative samples, the old format conversely
produced a line with negative samples.
The new test format is also faster
and more sensitive with screening levels
of 1.25mg/kg or 0.5mg/kg in line with
EU legislation.
