Benefits of technology

"The present invention provides a system for monitoring air for bioagents by collecting particles in the air, separating them by size, and detecting bioagents in the collected particles. The system includes a collector for gathering the air, water, soil, or other substance being monitored, a sample preparation means for preparing a sample of the selected potential bioagent particles, and a detector for detecting the bioagents in the sample. The invention can be modified and adapted in various forms."

Problems solved by technology

These systems are often expensive to deploy and ultimately unsuited for civilian protection.

Abstract

An autonomous monitoring system for monitoring for bioagents. A collector gathers the air, water, soil, or substance being monitored. A sample preparation means for preparing a sample is operatively connected to the collector. A detector for detecting the bioagents in the sample is operatively connected to the sample preparation means. One embodiment of the present invention includes confirmation means for confirming the bioagents in the sample.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60 / 406159 filed Aug. 26, 2002 titled "System for Autonomous Monitoring of Bioagents." U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60 / 406159 filed Aug. 26, 2002 titled "System for Autonomous Monitoring of Bioagents" is incorporated herein by this reference.BACKGROUND[0003] 1. Field of Endeavor[0004] The present invention relates to bioagents and more particularly to monitoring bioagents.[0005] 2. State of Technology[0006] There exists a critical need to develop distributed biothreat agent sensor networks that can operate in civilian applications. To operate in "Detect to Protect / Warn" type detection architectures, these platforms need to have several key properties. They need to be capable of detecting pathogens within a 1-2 hour time window, allowing for enough time to respond to an event. They need to be extremely low cost to maintain, since continuous monitoring...
