EBPI
Dedicated to the research, development, production and marketing
of biotechnology-based environmental testing products.
EBPI was established in 1992 as the only biotechnology based company in the world specializing in simple, rapid, cost effective methods for detection and monitoring of environmental pollution in drinking water, wastewater, soil and air. The EBPI Lab in Canada is respected around the world as a leader and developer of the ChromoTest line of products such as the SOS-ChromoTest, Toxi-ChromoTest, Toxi-ChromoPad, and the Muta-ChromoPlate.
15 years later EBPI remains as a leader in the environmental biotech testing industry. With clients thoughtout the world EBPI strives to continue it's leadership in the international market. EBPI is dedicated to the development of user friendly, environmental analytical systems that will assist in the sustainable development of global economies. Research, analytical laboratories, environmental consultants, government, academia, health organizations, nature preservation organizations, municipalities, and other countless sectors of industry use EBPI products and services.
EBPI line of ChromoTest kits are self-contained kits requiring minimal facilities and no previous analytical experience. Summary information in our test kits are outline below:
Toxi-ChromoTest: A microplate toxicity bioassay to determine acute toxicity of materials in water, effluent and other liquids.
Toxi-ChromoPad: A pad toxicity bioassay to determine acute toxicity of materials in sediments, sludge, soils, or other solid waste materials.
SOS-ChromoTest: A microplate genotoxicity bioassay based on the primary response of a genetically engineered bacteria to determine DNA genotoxicity damage from materials present in water, wastewater, sediment, air, chemicals, food, cosmetics, and biological fluids.
Muta-ChromoPlate: A microplate version of the traditional "pour plate" Ames Test, considerably more sensitive and user friendly, to detect DNA mutagenic activity in water, wastewater, sediment, air, chemicals, food, cosmetics, and biological fluids.
All of these test kits produce results that are both reproducible and sufficiently accurate for use in research projects and yet simple and inexpensive enough in their application to be used in teaching laboratories at colleges and universities.
