3 General Information

3.1 Overview of Product

The AND1100™ Fluorimeter enables field testing to be done in two short steps,

eliminating or significantly reducing test expenditures, complexity and wait times

experienced in traditional heavy metals water testing. The Fluorimeter uses an

extremely sensitive measurement technique to determine the levels of heavy metal

contaminants. ANDalyze's proprietary Catalytic DNA sensors use a DNAzyme reaction

that fluoresces in the presence of a target contaminant substance such as lead. The

fluorescence of the reaction is measured to determine the concentration of the

target heavy metal and is reported in parts per billion (ppb). Using the product to test

for metals is a simple, quantitative test that allows for detection at or below US EPA

standards in drinking water. The test is performed by taking a 1 milliliter water

sample, injecting it through the sensor, and into the AND1100 fluorimeter. This

sample is then automatically analyzed and reports results in less than two minutes.
