Immuno-Diagnostic Reagents (IDR) of San Diego, California was founded in 1985 to provide industry and research immunology laboratories with custom antibody purification, fluorescent probe and enzyme conjugation. Since 1996 IDR also develops Enzyme Immunoassay (EIA) kits for research use in the clinical, agricultural and environmental areas.

IDR offer two delivery systems technologies including a screening cup device (for qualitative rapid screening) and ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) systems using inexpensive strip readers to automated robotic systems. To date the company has been involved in the development of four product lines in the diagnostic areas: (1) a mycotoxin line for monitoring aflatoxin and other mycotoxins in food and feedstuffs, (2) a drug line for both the clinical and drugs of abuse testing, (3) a herbicide/pesticide residue and toxic compound line for monitoring toxic compounds in food, feedstuffs, water and soil, and (4) an antibiotic line for monitoring in food and feedstuffs.

Most of the IDR products employ the reagents that are developed by the Company’s own proprietary technology.
