" measuring the health of our environment"

 

Environmental Bio-Detection Products Inc (EBPI).

 

Specializing in Biomolecular Testing for Toxicity, Mutagenicity, and Genotoxicity.

EBPI is a biotechnology based company specializing in the manufacture and custom application of simple, rapid, and cost effective methods for detection and monitoring of toxic , mutagenic and genotoxic materials. In addition to being used for evaluation of existing and new chemicals the kits have found application in assessing environmental pollution risks in drinking water, wastewater, soil and air. We are a research and development focused laboratory and manufacturing facility continually developing new testing procedures and easy to use testing kits for use by research laboratories around the world.

EBPI offers effective and efficient  testing kits that focus on user's needs. Examples of our most popular kits are.

 

A microplate version of the traditional "pour plate" Ames Test.  The Muta-ChromoPlate is sensitive and user friendly. It is commonly used to detect mutagenic potential of individual chemicals or mixtures of chemicals in water, wastewater, sediment, air aqueous extracts , new chemicals, foods, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and  any other material that can be put into aqueous solution or micro-suspension such that it can be taken up by the test strain.

A microplate toxicity bioassay to determine acute or chronic toxicity in water, effluents, and other liquids. The Toxi-Chromotest endpoint is either partial or complete enzyme inhibition related to toxic stress the test organism is exposed to. It’s endpoint is a simple color change that can be determined visually or using a plate reader at a wavelength of 610nm.

A pad toxicity bioassay to determine acute toxicity of materials found in sediments, sludge, soils, or other solid waste materials. The Toxi-ChromoPad test does not rely on the extraction of chemicals from the substrate and thus is a direct measure of biological exposure potential. It is based upon the same test organism and response as the aqueous based Toxi-ChromoTest.

A microplate genotoxicity bioassay based on the primary response of a genetically engineered bacteria to determine DNA genotoxicity damage. The SOS-ChromoTest can be used to evaluate the presence of genotoxic agents in water, wastewater, sediment, air, chemicals, food, cosmetics, and  for any material that can be put into aqueous solution.

New Release

EBPI is pleased to announce that EBPI is the distributor for MicroBioTests (MBT) TOXKIT product line for Canada and the United States of America effective April 1st 2009. 

MicroBioTests Inc. is the developer and manufacture of the TOXKIT MICROBIOTESTS product line. These kits are used for the detection and quantification of the toxicity of chemicals and/or solid and liquid wastes which pollute aquatic and terrestrial environments.


EBPI’s site will be shortly updated to include detailed information regarding TOXKIT product line.  For more information regarding the TOXKIT product line please contact EBPI.

S9 Activation

S9 Activation Enzymes are available with the Muta-ChromoPlate kit as well as the SOS-ChromoTest kit to assist in the evaluation of the mutagenic potential and genotoxicity of metabolic products.
