INT's Palladium System is a platform technology that can also be applied in the following areas:
Food Testing
Testing for contaminates can occur at food processing site before product enters the distribution system. This can result in significant savings plus prevent the brand damage that occurs when bad product lands on consumers' plates.
Environmental Testing
Testing of water supplies and environmental areas can be completed more easily and quickly with in-field capabilities, allowing for rapid identification of problems and better management of potential health threats.
Research
DNA and RNA testing is widely employed in research laboratories for disease research, development of new drugs and vaccines, and characterization of plants and animals. With the rapid increase in DNA sequence information, INT's system provides a tool to carry out rapid low cost screenings of potential disease markers.
Forensics
INT's identification technology can revolutionize forensic identification by bringing forensic analysis into the field. This will enable immediate and definitive identification of individuals and analysis of forensic materials. Networked systems will allow for comparisons of DNA sequences to databases while in the field.
