The MetPLATE™ kit is specific for heavy metal toxicity. The MetPLATE™ kit 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 96-well microplate. The intensity of the purple color is inversely proportional to the sample toxicity. Absorbance is measured at 575 nm using a microplate reader.

One MetPLATE™ test kit contains one vial of freeze-dried BACTERIAL REAGENT, one vial of freeze-dried CHROMOGENIC SUBSTRATE, one vial of DILUENT, one vial of BUFFER, one vial of POSITIVE CONTROL, and one 96 well MICROPLATE.
