SMART-II Biological Warfare Detection Tickets
The SMART-II tickets are available for a panel of analytes. Once the sample is acquired, it is suspended in a buffer and administered onto the strip. The liquid sample is wicked across a pad that will develop over the course of 15 to 30 minutes with a control line to validate the test as well as a detection line which indicates presence/absence of analyte.
