Agentase™ C1 (Formerly Fido C1 CAD Kit)
Agentase™ C1 is a chemical agent detection kit (formerly named Fido C1 CAD KIT) that uses enzyme-based technology to detect class-specific chemical warfare agent (CWA) and selected other toxic chemical contamination on a variety of surfaces at trace level. Emergency responders use the Agentase™ C1 sensors to conduct surface, solid and liquid interrogation for the presence of nerve (G&V series), blood (AC) and blister (HD) agents, acids, bases, aldehydes and oxidizers. The Agentase™ C1 kit is provided in a small carry pouch weighing less than 1 lb. and contains six sensors, which can be custom-configured for the emergency response mission requirement. The sensors do not destroy the sample and can be saved for eventual forensic analysis. The kit also includes a tool specifically designed to handle bulk samples. The Agentase™ C1 sensors detect trace levels of hazards and are resistant to common environmental interferents. Detection occurs within 5 minutes.

| Sensitivity/Detection Limits |
| µg; The enzyme sensors detect trace levels of hazards. The performance has been validated in 3rd party government tests. The sensitivity on surfaces is single micrograms (nerve agents), hundreds of micrograms (blister agents), tens of micrograms (blood agents) and tens of micrograms (TICs). Specific detection limits are subject to export restrictions and may only be disclosed to authorized parties in accordance with applicable U.S. export regulations. |
