Sales: $500, 000 Exports: $350, 000 Employees: 8

Environmental Biodetection Products Inc. (EBPI) is an environmental biotechnology firm dedicated to the production, R&D and marketing of biotechnology-based environmental testing products. EBPI is a private company incorporated in 1992. BEAK International Inc. is an EBPI shareholder. BEAK International Inc. is a specialized technology-based environmental consulting company employing approximately 200 scientists and engineers. BEAK has offices in Canada, the U. S., and Europe.

EBPI is a technological leader in: toxicity, genotoxicity, and mutagenicity colorimetric bioassays based on freeze dried bacteria and specialized reagents; microbial colorimetric bioassay based on specialized media with specific inducers, substrates and sterilized polymerizing agent.

EBPI products are self-contained kits requiring minimal facilities and no previous analytical experience. They are rapid, reliable, cost-effective and easy to use. Individual kits are as follows;

Toxi-Chromotest: A microplate toxicity bioassay to determine acute toxicity in water, effluent and other liquids. Toxi-ChromoPad: A pad toxicity bioassay to determine acute toxicity in sediments, sludge, soils, or other solid waste material. SOS-Chromotest: A microplate genotoxicity bioassay based on the primary response of a genetically engineered bacteria to determine DNA genotoxicity damage in water, wastewater, sediment, air chemicals, food, cosmetics, and biological fluids.

Muta-ChromoPlate: A microplate version of the traditional 'pour plate' Ames Test, considerable more sensitive and user friendly, to detect DNA mutagenic activity in water, wastewater, sediment, air, chemicals, food, cosmetics and biological fluids. Coliplate: A bioassay for quantitative measure of coliform and E. coli, indicative of fecal pollution in water and wastewater. Watercheck: A qualitative bioassay for the presence/absense of Coliforms and E. coli in potable water supplies.

EBPI's test kits are designed to adapt to the needs of: industry, municipalities, academia, research and analytical laboratories, environmental consultants, governments, health and nature preservation organizations. EBPI has clients worldwide and frequently works in partnership with them to meet their environmental challenges.

• Watercheck And Coliplate.

  For applications and locations where water quality microbial testing laboratories are not available or where test results are required immediately water check provides a fast and inexpensive solution to testing for the presence or absence of Coliform and E. coli bacteria.

  The test allows the detection of as few as one colony forming unit per 100mls of water within 24 hrs which meets the most stringent potable water quality criteria. The test is currently being used by oil and gas companies, mining companies, ship owners and small towns and other remote locations to routinely monitor the bacterological quality of their potable water supplies. Coliplate is being used by a number of users in similar locations as well as various public interest groups to monitor ambient levels of Coliform amd E. coli bacterial indicator groups in untreated ground and surface waters.

  Similar to Watercheck, Coliplate is an innexpensive self contained test kit with a range of from less than 3 to greater than 2500 colony forming units per 100 ml of sample being tested. Results are obtained within 24 hrs when samples are incubated in a small portable incubator.
