BoTest™ Botulinum Neurotoxin (BoNT) Detection Assays
BioSentinel’s BoTest™ Botulinum
Neurotoxin (BoNT) Detection Assays detect BoNT serotypes A and E (BoTest™ A/E); and serotypes B, D, F, and G (BoTest™ B/D/F/G). The assay detects and quantifies the activity of BoNT. The BoLISA® Botulinum Neurotoxin Detection Assays are ELISAs based for detecting femto- to pico-molar quantities of BoNT in complex and dilute matrices.
