RIDA®SMART APP is R-Biopharm’s smartphone app for reading and evaluating RIDA®QUICK lateral flow tests with the phone camera, and for storing and managing the results. The RIDA®SMART BOX holds the test under steady lighting and positioning, so readings stay consistent from one test to the next.
Dry, ready-to-use culture plates. The sample is pipetted straight onto the plate, spreads by itself and rehydrates the medium; after incubation the colonies are counted on the plate. No agar to prepare or sterilise, suited to enumerating microorganisms in food and environmental samples.
Dry, ready-to-use culture plates: add the sample, incubate and count the colonies, with no agar to prepare. Shortens hands-on time and saves incubator space in routine microbiological testing.
Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays run in microtiter plates: the target antigen or antibody is recognised specifically and gives a colour signal read on a plate reader. Many samples are analysed side by side in a single run.
R-Biopharm Enzytec™ kits quantify food constituents by enzymatic reaction: a specific enzyme converts the analyte and the amount of product formed is measured photometrically. The range includes kits for sugars (D-glucose, sucrose, D-fructose), organic acids (L-lactic, L-malic, tartaric, succinic and oxalic acid), vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) and beta-glucan, for food and beverages including wine. The ready-to-use liquid reagents run on a photometer or an automated analyser.
Surface hygiene testing by ATP bioluminescence: the surface is sampled with a swab, and the luciferin–luciferase reaction emits light in proportion to the ATP from organic residue and microorganisms. A luminometer gives the result (RLU) within seconds, confirming cleaning on the spot.
Testing for veterinary drug residues with R-Biopharm EuroProxima and RIDASCREEN® ELISA kits and Premi®Test.
Testing for hormones and anabolic agents, including R-Biopharm ELISA kits for corticosteroids, progesterone, stanozolol and zilpaterol.
Immunoaffinity columns use specific antibodies to capture the analyte from the sample extract, cleaning it up and concentrating it before analysis by HPLC or LC-MS/MS. Removing matrix interference makes results more accurate. The range includes columns for mycotoxins (aflatoxins, ochratoxin A, fumonisins, zearalenone, DON, T-2/HT-2 and multi-mycotoxin columns), EASI-EXTRACT® columns for vitamin B12 and folic acid, EASI-BIND® columns for lactoferrin, and PuriTox clean-up columns for multiple mycotoxins.
A rapid colour-change test that detects protein residue on surfaces after cleaning. Since food allergens are proteins, a negative result shows the surface has been cleaned; the test is not specific to any single allergen.
The R-Biopharm RIDA®CUBE SCAN analyser for physicochemical tests such as sugars, acids, ethanol and sulfite.
RIDA®ABSORBANCE 96 is R-Biopharm’s microplate (ELISA) reader. It measures the absorbance of RIDASCREEN® 96-well ELISA kits and calculates quantitative results.
Detects and quantifies specific DNA or RNA by amplification monitored through a fluorescent signal in real time. Results are fast and specific, with no culture step. In this range, real-time PCR is used to detect pathogens, viruses and toxin-producing bacteria, beer and wine spoilage organisms, allergens and gluten, and to identify animal and plant species in food; qPCR instruments and DNA/RNA extraction kits are included.
R-Biopharm’s smartphone app for reading and evaluating lateral flow test results with the phone camera, and for storing and managing the results.
The classic way to quantify vitamins: a bacterial strain grows only in the presence of the target vitamin, so its growth, measured as turbidity, is proportional to the vitamin content of the sample. Commonly used for B vitamins such as folic acid, vitamin B12 and biotin.
Sterile swabs, some pre-moistened, for sampling surfaces and equipment for microbiological, ATP or allergen testing. Sampling a defined area keeps results comparable from one check to the next.
ThunderBolt® is an automated ELISA system that pipettes, incubates, washes and reads microtiter plate ELISA kits. It reduces hands-on time and keeps results consistent across large sample runs.
The Pictus 500 automatic biochemistry analyser from R-Biopharm for food constituent tests.
Rapid tests for allergens and gluten, including R-Biopharm bioavid lateral flow and RIDA®QUICK sticks, and Kikkoman swabs.
Dehydrated or prepared culture media for the enrichment, isolation, identification and enumeration of microorganisms. The foundation of standard microbiological test methods.
RIDA®CYCLER is R-Biopharm’s 4-channel real-time PCR instrument with magnetic induction heating, for use with SureFast® kits to detect microorganisms and allergens and identify species in food.
