					 Improved 
					Acid Phosphatase (AP) Detection Strips

					PrivaFone 
					is pleased to announce that we have improved our 
					
					
					acid phosphatase (AP) detection strips.  The new strips 
					are heat stable and do not turn brown over time.  They 
					are manufactured using a completely solid-phase process.  
					The inner strip, which is coated with reagents, is 
					sandwiched between clear polypropylene tape and an opaque vinyl 
					backing.  After use, the strips may be resealed, and 
					the purple color shows through the transparent cover.  
					The backing also has peel-off adhesive, allowing the 
					investigator conveniently to affix the strip to a notebook 
					for permanent record-keeping.  The strips are shipped 
					in a resealable pouch with desiccant.  The new strips 
					are sensitive down to at least a 1/500 dilution of semen, 
					comparable to Phosphatesmo KM.  QC results of the new 
					strips are shown below: 
					  
					  
					
					  
					  
					  
					
					Here's a 
					close-up view of the new strip, after exposure to semen 
					(note that the color shows through the transparent cover 
					very well): 
					  
					
					
					  
					  
					  
					  
					
					As usual, 
					inquiries 
					from the press are cordially invited.
