The Bio-Seeq PLUS is a portable, high-precision instrument for detecting trace levels of bacterial and viral biological warfare agents using DNA replication.
It is based on LATE PCR™ (linear exponential polymerization chain reaction) technology for improved detection and accurate identification.
The instrument's software is designed for users with little or no biological testing experience. Easy-to-follow command prompts guide the user through the entire testing process.
The instrument features a membrane keyboard with large keys, allowing for operation while wearing protective gloves. Optimized for confirmatory testing in the field, the Bio-Seeq PLUS is particularly valuable when biological warfare agents are suspected.
The Bio-Seeq PLUS comes with premium service, training, and support to ensure optimal performance.
Smiths Detection is a world-leading provider of advanced security solutions and technology products for the detection of chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, explosives, and other hazardous or restricted materials.
