Innovative Products
Biochemical Diagnostics introduced gravity flow, polymeric SPE devices years before the competition realized its importance. The Multi-Prep® TLC spotter is an innovation that revolutionized the drug screening market allowing laboratories to process thousands of samples daily with a greatly reduced staff. The Steroid-Skreen™ and VMA-Skreen™ kits are still relevant. Today, the Multiprep® Sample Preparation/Evaporation hardware (SP/E), combined with gravity flow columns, is similarly enabling the preparation of thousands of samples daily for analysis by GC/MS and LC/MS. The ready-to-use Multi-Prep®, Detectabuse® and Stat-Skreen® liquid urine drug controls along with Salivabuse® oral fluid controls are considered the most stable available.As a pioneer in the field, Biochemical Diagnostics leads with an ongoing, innovative, evolution of off-the-shelf and custom tailored products in the fields of sample preparation and drug control material. Biochemical Diagnostics proudly offers FDA/DEA approved products and ISO certified manufacturing practices.
