Biological agent detection
Protection of troops against attack by biological warfare agents has long been a focus for Smiths Detection. We have developed advanced bio detection suites and now act as systems integrators on major programmes.
As the threat target has widened to the general public, the technology has been adapted and simplified to create field deployable instruments that offer laboratory standard identification of bio agents, on-the-spot, with minimum delay.
See our range of products:
Biological identifiers
Bio-Seeq PLUS - Handheld, fully field portable PCR identifier to detect bacterial and viral pathogens in 60 minutes [more]
Prime Alert - A portable detection system that quickly determines the presence of potentially life-threatening microbes such as anthrax and plague as well as bio-toxins such as ricin and botulinum by providing a highly-accurate broad-spectrum analysis.[more]
Biological classifiers
SmartBio Sensor - real time detection of biological agents in air to classify them (bacteria, toxins, viruses etc) [more]
Integrated systems
Bio-Detection System - complementary detectors to detect and identify specific agents rapidly, in near real-time [more]
Providing total management of complex networks of sensors is PROTECT, an automated hardware/software system that integrates CBRNE detectors, analog or digital camera systems (CCTV), dispersion modeling, and optimal response protocols to improve detection and reaction to complex terrorist attacks. It is supported by FirstView, a complete sensor management solution that can support thousands of sensors and users using a scalable IP-based system
