 MetPAD/FluoroMetPAD
MetPAD™ kit is specific for heavy metal toxicity and is based on
enzyme inhibition in a bacterial strain by bioavailable heavy metals
in aqueous samples. Bacterial response to a toxic sample is
conveniently observed on the test pad. The intensity of the purple
color on the pad is inversely proportional to the sample toxicity.
One MetPAD™ test kit contains one vial of freeze-dried
BACTERIAL
REAGENT, one vial of DILUENT, one vial of BUFFER, one vial of
POSITIVE
CONTROL, and three ASSAY PADS.
FluoroMetPAD is similar to
MetPAD except that the kit includes a fluorogenic
substrate.
