Continuous biological threat detector using UV laser-induced fluorescence
Characteristics
The IBAC 2 from FLIR provides continuous real-time air monitoring and automatically generates an alarm in the event of a biological threat detection in the air (within 60 seconds at the maximum sensitivity setting). It uses UV laser-induced fluorescence to distinguish biological organisms from background particles. It reliably detects all four classes of biological agents at concentrations below 100 ACPLA, with a low false alarm rate and no consumables required.
The IBAC 2 system can be used as a standalone unit, as part of a network of multiple units (for example, as a “first level” building protection system), or together with a battery module for mobile detection. When a threat is detected, the system automatically generates an alarm, collects and stores samples for identification analysis, and transmits data to command and control centers. IBAC 2 is the most widely deployed instrument of its type currently on the market, with the highest number of installations, and is also the most extensively tested and verified system. It is suitable for both long-term fixed installations and short-term tactical applications.
