Introducing BioBroom™ and BioDisk™. For more efficient, cleaner and “no-shake” PCR-based pathogen detection.
Used with VRL’s BioDisk™ for enhanced detection, BioBroom™ offers better control and improved testing.
The Benefits of Dredging with BioBroom™
- No more shaking – no more contaminants in your animal colony space.
- Dramatically reduces the risk of losing or inadvertently disposing of contact media.
- Custom-designed to securely hold the BioDisk media product (see reverse side).
- More robust sample by ability to broom specific areas vs shaking and hoping.
IMPROVED pathogen detection begins with BioDisk™
BioDisk™ is designed to work as a contact media for sentinel-free soiled bedding testing, which improves adherence to the 3Rs initiative compared to live animal sentinels.
BioDisk™ outperforms the other top 3 products being used for Sentinel-Free Soiled Bedding testing (SFSB).
Performs in all housing systems for consistency in your vivarium
A summary of 42 peer-reviewed articles shows that SFSB testing provides ~ 20% better detection than SBS testing
A lower Cq value means increased sensitivity (better results)
