Bio CAPAT Overview
•
Point Detectors
‐ Sample Aerosol Directly
‐ Reliability Time to Detect Distinguish from Background
,
,
‐ Particle Size: Threat Based (1 ‐ 10 micron)
•
Identifiers
‐qPCR, ELISA, UV Emission, AA
•
Standoff Detectors (AOF not funded)
‐ Back Scatter + Emission: Good Sizing, Concentration
‐ Poor ID
•
Decon and Equipment Survivability
‐ Particulate in nature (surface) , deactivation, filtration
efficacy. Nuclear decon often related
A Few Biological TECNs
•
Standardized Interferent Recipes.
•
Standard Unit of Measure for Bio Detection
ACPLA TALA

BUALA

.
Infectivity, Virulance and Viablity Based
More Short Term
•
Background vs Challenge: UV Vis Particle Sizer.
•
Threat realistic Aerosolizer for chamber tests.
Crude method (threat based), Wide PSD
Flux must be suitable for the low levels
associated with chamber work
Current Sonotek method is very refined
