New Rapid Environmental WNV Test

On July 9, 2003, Response Biomedical Corp. introduced the market-ready RAMP*
West Nile Virus Test, a high sensitivity rapid, quantitative environmental
test capable of detecting low levels of the virus in mosquitoes and crows.
The RAMP West Nile Virus Test was developed and evaluated in consultation
with leading scientists at Health Canada’s National Microbiology Lab. The
RAMP System consists of a portable fluorescent Reader and single-use,
disposable Test Cartridges

  Response Biomedical develops and manufactures rapid on-site RAMP tests for
clinical and biodefense applications providing reliable information in
minutes, when and where it is needed. RAMP tests are commercially available
for the early detection of heart attack, and biodefense applications
including the rapid on-site detection of anthrax, smallpox, monkeypox, ricin
and botulinum toxin.
