ElutraSep, Inc. Announces the Commercial Launch of the Cryptonite™ Filter Module for Cryptosporidium and Giardia Testing.

Following last months successful Cryptonite HV (high volume unit) launch, Cryptonite is a more compact design for laboratories wishing to reduce filter and associated labor costs. The standard Cryptonite unit is less expensive than competitive filters and offers laboratories the ability to eliminate centrifugation prior to the IMS step.

Atlanta, Georgia (PRWEB) June 12, 2009 -- ElutraSep, Inc. today announced the commercial launch of the Cryptonite™ Filter Module for Cryptosporidium and Giardia testing. www.elutrasep.com/app-Cryptosporidium.asp

Cryptonite™ is a filtration module designed to capture and concentrate Cryptosporidium and Giardia from non-filtered source and finished water samples.

Following last months successful Cryptonite HV (high volume unit) launch, Cryptonite is a more compact design for laboratories wishing to reduce filter and associated labor costs. The standard Cryptonite unit is less expensive than competitive filters and offers laboratories the ability to eliminate centrifugation prior to the IMS step.

"The true strength of our hollow fiber technology is the extremely low elution volumes required to recover concentrated organisms. These low elution volumes are providing our customers with the ability to eliminate centrifugation and go directly to IMS ," said Jason Holt, president and CEO of ElutraSep. "It's great to see the excitement when the technician realizes how easy it is to hook up two syringes and elute from the module. The ability to elute with less than a 10 milliliter volume, skip centrifugation and pay half as much per filter is a dream come true for laboratories conducting hundreds of tests per month," said Jason. "We already have quite a few laboratories conducting their own tier 1 validations and expect more as the word gets out".
