Introducing Our Paralytic Shellfish Toxins (PSTs) Detection Kits
April 3rd, 2025
We now offer two kits for detecting paralytic shellfish toxins (PSTs) in shellfish samples. The semi-quantitative PSTs 40 Tube Kit (Cat# 20-0354) provides an easy-to-use method for determining the presence of PSTs, while the quantitative PSTs Plate Kit (Cat# 20-0409) offers a user-friendly plate-based assay for measuring PST concentrations. Both kits deliver reliable results to support food safety and regulatory compliance. Learn more on each individual product page.
Now Available: Spinosyn 100 Tube Kit in a Smaller Format
March 7th, 2025
We’re excited to announce that our popular Spinosyn 100 Tube Kit is now available in a new, smaller 40-tube format (cat# 20-0410). This option provides the same high-quality product in a more compact size to better suit a variety of research and production needs.
Beacon Showcases Research at Key Scientific Events
December 17th, 2024
This year, Beacon was honored to participate in several major scientific conferences across the United States, sharing our latest research projects and results with the broader community.
In the summer, we attended the Phycological Society of America (PSA)-International Society of Protistologists (ISOP)-International Society for Evolutionary Protistologists (ISEP) Joint Meeting at the University of Washington in Seattle, Washington for marine toxins. Shortly after, in August, we presented a poster highlighting our work at the Association of Official Analytical Chemists (AOAC) Annual Meeting in Baltimore, Maryland. Later in the fall, we participated in the 12th U.S. Symposium on Harmful Algae in Portland, Maine, where we showcased another poster focusing on our research efforts on harmful algal toxins.
Both new posters—one from the AOAC Annual Meeting and one from the Harmful Algae Symposium—are available for viewing in the Publications section of our website.
We are proud to contribute to the scientific community and look forward to continuing our engagement in advancing research and collaboration.
