Compact Bio-aerosol Detector and Collector

A field‑ready bio‑aerosol monitor and sampler that can work stand‑alone, as a networked node for building/critical‑infrastructure protection, or integrated on a robot/UAS. IBAC 1 provides continuous monitoring, alarms in under 60 seconds, and supports automated sample collection for confirmatory testing—without consumables during monitoring.

Why teams choose this detector

• Compact, lightweight and rugged for fixed or mobile deployment.
• Mature bio‑trigger with US‑validated algorithms for indoor/outdoor use.
• Flexible integration: networked arrays, UAV/UGV platforms or fixed protection tiers.

How it works

The instrument continuously samples air and looks for UV‑excited fluorescence and elastic scatter from particles that match biological signatures. On alarm, it can activate a collector so operators have a physical sample ready for PCR or rapid immunoassay.

Typical applications

First‑tier building protection, patrol/robotic reconnaissance, multi‑node networks for venue security, and integration on unmanned platforms where size and mass matter.
