Forensic Toxicology
Over the last 30 years immunoassay drug detection has stood still with no technological advancements. Randox Toxicology has changed this through he development of smart solutions for forensic testing, including our multiplex Biochip Array Technology. Since its inception Randox has continued to develop the patented Biochip Array Technology so that it is adaptable to various forensic settings.
Multiplex Biochip Array Technology
Biochip Array Technology (BAT) is a multiplex immunoassay methodology developed by Randox which advances on ELISA methods for rapid and accurate drug detection. BAT provides simultaneous detection of multiple drug classes and drug metabolites from a single, undivided specimen. The core of the technology is the Randox biochip, a solid state device onto which antibodies specific to different drug compounds are immobilised and stabilised; these are defined as discrete test sites. Competitive chemiluminescent immunoassays are employed for the biochip arrays. Light signal generated from each of the test regions on the biochip is simultaneously detected using digital imaging technology and compared to that from a calibration curve.
Fast and accurate detection in forensic specimens
Biochip Array Technology allows forensic toxicologists to carry out complete immunoassay screen on a wide range of drugs simultaneously. Randox offer an unrivalled toxicology test menu across six arrays. The technology enables the testing of multiple forensic matrices with dedicated kits, offering excellent specificity and the reduced risk of false results.
Efficient, effective and accurate drug profiling
Biochip Array technology requires less manual input by fundamentally consolidating and speeding up ELISA techniques. Furthermore, consolidation of all forensic matrices onto one Biochip Array Technology analyser provides an efficient, effective and accurate method of detecting for drugs; enabling forensic toxicology laboratories to not only reduce costs but to improve overall performance.
