Previously called Enzyme Technology Research Group Inc, Ancare is now part of the entity Alderon Biosciences Inc. Andcare is organized around providing simpler, faster, and more economical diagnostic systems for medical, environmental, and laboratory research and testing needs. The company's novel electrochemical assay products are designed for the detection of metals (lead), peroxide, nucleic acids, proteins, and antigens. These provide alternative, low-cost, simple to use diagnostic systems for medical, environmental, and laboratory research and testing needs. The firm's Core Technology are Unique electrode surfaces modified with colloidal gold or biomaterials including enzymes, antibodies, other proteins, and gene probes Disposable Electrochemical Sensors Portable Electrochemical Instruments. One project of note was the first FDA approved hand-held blood lead detection device. Collaborative efforts with the CDC and USAID by AndCare personnel took this device to several third world countries where it found extensive use.
