Portable platform for the rapid detection and identification of biological threats
Characteristics
pBDi (Portable BioDetector) by AIRSENSE Analytics is a compact, battery-powered detection platform designed for the rapid and sensitive identification of biological threats directly in the field. It uses advanced electrochemical ELISA technology on a biochip for the simultaneous and highly specific detection of bacteria, viruses, and toxins from a single sample.
Key Features
- Results in 20 minutes – fully automated analysis directly in the field
- Universal detection of toxins, bacteria, and viruses – broad range of detectable biological agents
- Simultaneous measurement of up to 6 agents in parallel from a single liquid or solid sample
- Electrochemical ELISA with redox cycling on pure gold microelectrodes
- High sensitivity – toxins in the range of pg/ml to ng/ml, bacteria down to 10³ CFU/ml, viruses down to 10⁴ PFU/ml
- Fully portable system with a rechargeable Li-Ion battery (up to ~7.5 h operating time) and a rugged aluminum housing
- Designed for use while wearing protective clothing and for direct deployment in the “hot zone”
- Automated data processing and “traffic light” display (red/green indicating the presence of bio-agents) on a rugged tablet via Bluetooth or USB
- Minimal sample preparation requirements with high tolerance to different types of matrices
- Easy-to-decontaminate design
Typical Applications
pBDi is primarily intended for first responders, military units, civil protection, and security personnel. It enables laboratory-accurate identification of biological threats directly in the field, with minimal operator requirements and without the need to send samples to remote laboratories.
pBDi – reliable and rapid field detection of biological threats.
