Evidence Investigator
The Evidence Investigator is a compact, semi-automated bench top platform applicable for a wide range of settings. The bench-top system is user-friendly and brings the benefits of time and labour saving to smaller drug test setting. The multiplex system offers an acceptable sample throughput of 702 drug tests in 75 minutes. Ideal for forensic applications, the semi-automated assay remains significantly faster than automated ELISA methods.
