 RAZOR® EX System
The upgraded RAZOR EX system detects and identifies biological agents using cutting edge technology. Made for field use, the
RAZOR EX 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. The new battery powered unit includes Bluetooth capabilities, bar code reader, and a bright, easy to read color screen.
The RAZOR EX uses ITI’s patented pouch system—integrated freeze-dried reagents and special packaging for incomparable ease of use. ITI 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 (for a complete list, see the RAZOR reagent pouches information sheet). |
