ENHANCED BIOHAZARD DETECTION SYSTEM

摘要

An enhanced biohazard detection system and a method for detecting, screening and analyzing biological agents are disclosed. The system incorporates an immunoassay detection device to provide a more robust, less expensive method for detecting biological agents in air samples collected at strategically located monitored sites. The immunodetection based assays may be used either in parallel with, or as a prescreening assay for, a polymerase chain reaction based assay for detecting and identifying biological agents in air samples.
