Detection systems for life science research

ICT develops and manufactures reagents to help researchers investigate the molecular pathways of biology. We offer two distinct product lines to detect molecules: ICT’s fluorescent detection reagents measure intracellular biological processes; our ELISA Solutions help improve the performance of custom immunoassays.

• ICT’s fluorescent detection reagents are used to investigate the molecular process of disease or the effects of treatment by detecting cell death and apoptosis. This is useful when studying investigational therapies to see how the treatment is affecting each cell in the body. Necrotic or apoptotic cells will exhibit different fluorescence staining characteristics.
  Our FLIVO tracers are used in living animals (in vivo) to assess apoptosis and study the effectiveness of treatment while the animal remains alive. ICT's specialty in vitro fluorescent detection kits were designed to be used in culture plate settings to study specific isolated cell lines over time. Our specialty in vitro tracers detect active caspases, cathepsins, serine proteases, enzymes, and assess mitochondrial health.
  ICT’s detection kits are presently used to assess a wide range of cell and disease-state pathology including: necrosis, apoptosis, cytotoxicity, oxidative stress, chemotherapy, irradiation, and neuro-degeneration, among other applications.
  
  
• ICT’s ELISA Solutions products help researchers create their own immunodiagnostic tests to detect any molecule of their choice. All of our buffers work together to build an accurate and sensitive immunoassay with minimal background noise. ICT’s coating and blocking buffers stabilize the plate; our sample and assay diluents help generate an accurate standard curve. We also offer conjugate stabilizers, substrates, and more. ICT has all the solutions needed to develop an ELISA test from start to finish.
