Biral Launches New Biodetector at DSEi 2005
15 August 2005 11:39
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 battery 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 will be launched at DSEi 2005, London, 13-16 Sept on the NBC UK Stand 163.
