A biological agent detector (20) detects the presence of any biological agents, such as anthrax or other biological warfare agents, in a sample of air. The biological agent detector includes a bio-concentrator (22) that concentrates an aerosol and a pyrolyzer portion including two detecting devices (26a, 26b). One detecting device (26a) operates in a sample collection mode and collects a sample of air when the other detecting device (26b) operates in a sample analysis mode and analyzes a sample of air. After a predetermined amount of time, the detecting devices switch functions, providing continuous sampling of air. |
