KIM
Discontinued: KIM is a biological analysis equipment that allows detection of bacteria, viruses or toxins from a liquid sample. KIM is based on a technical immunoagglutination under magnetic field : agent biological immunology is recognized by the reaction being promoted by application of a magnetic field. This equipment is offered in an analysis bag or in kit suitable for transportability.
