RAZOR® System

The RAZOR system detects and identifies biological agents using cutting edge technology. Made for field use, the RAZOR is compact, lightweight, and easy to use. It is a field PCR unit that is fast, with ultra-reliable DNA based results. Created for first responders and front line military troops, it is easily operated while working in protective equipment under extreme conditions. Battery powered with a simple user interface, the system has post-mission PC software for data archiving and post-mission reporting.

The RAZOR uses ITI’s patented pouch system—integrated freeze-dried reagents and special packaging for an easy-to-use system. It has a selection of pre formatted pouch configurations for the most common bioterror threats as well as the ability to custom formulate the pouches for individual needs
