Biral Launches New Biodetector
VeroTect is the
latest in the family of biodetectors from Biral that provides a state-of-the-art, real
time biodetection capability with a very low cost of ownership. It combines the proven
ASAS technology of Aerosol Size And Shape characterisation with novel technology for
generic characterisation by particle fluorescence using 280nm excitation.
This combination of light induced fluorescence, together with
particle size and shape information, allows VeroTect to characterise the aerosol to an
extent that is not currently achievable by any other sensor. The result is a high level of
discrimination between threat and interferents and a correspondingly low level of false
alarms, thus increasing end user confidence.
Based on modular design principles the sensor is compact, easily
deployable and low maintenance requiring no operational consumables. Mains or low voltage
DC powered, VeroTect contains an embedded computer that provides data processing and
instrument control. External communications to control computers are via Ethernet
connection or high-speed serial link. The bespoke sophisticated algorithm based detection
software provides optimum detector performance and easy integration with system control
and command software.
ASAS sensors have been successfully deployed in the UK Armed Forces
PBDS biodetection systems for several years and are now a key element in the upgraded IBDS
system. As a testament to its pedigree VeroTect has been selected as the biodetector for
the UK MoD’s Integrated Sensor Management System (ISMS).
VeroTect is being launched at the DSEi
Exhibition at
London Docklands 13th -16th
September 2005
See us at the NBC UK stand number 163
