Product catalog summary
Overview
The BioFlash® Biological Identifier is a rapid bio-aerosol collection and identification system designed to detect biological threat agents and pathogens, including toxins. It is portable, compact, and offers high performance in sampling, reliability, and cost-effectiveness.

Technology and Applications
The system utilizes proprietary aerosol collection technology and CANARY™ technology, developed at MIT Lincoln Laboratory. It has been tested in various labs and used in building security and mail screening for over a decade. Applications include air monitoring for building protection, mailroom screening, and use in reconnaissance vehicles and mobile labs.

Key Features
  • Proven technology with particle collection of 1-10 micron size particles.
  • Low operational and maintenance costs.
  • Compact, lightweight, and easy to use and decontaminate.
  • PCR levels of sensitivity and specificity.
  • Configurable as a stand-alone device or integrated subsystem.

Technical Specifications
  • Power: External 110V-220V, 50-60Hz.
  • Power Consumption: 0.1 A (blower off) / 3.5 A (blower on).
  • Weight: 15.9kg (35lbs).
  • Operating Temperature Range: 10˚C to 40˚C (50˚F to 104˚F).
  • Size: 30.48 x 40.64 x 31.75cm (12 x 16 x 12.5in).
  • Flow Rate: 480 LPM with integral flow regulation.
  • Sampling Time: Variable, recommended 1 minute for ambient air, 20 seconds for mail bin screening.
  • Sample Size: Up to 24 hours of continuous air collection or 60 phased collection cycles per BioDisc™.
  • Sensitivity: 50 agent-containing particles per liter of air (ACPLA).
  • Selectivity: Single test probability of false-alarm (PFA) < 0.05% and > 98% probability of Identification (PD) at 50 ACPLA.
  • Response Time: 3 minutes.

Product Features
  • Easy to use with enlarged, sealed pushbuttons and expansive display screen.
  • Lightweight and portable, decontaminable while wearing Personal Protective Equipment.
  • Assay Format: Proprietary 16-channel disc with all necessary reagents and consumables.
  • User Interface: Sealed touch-pad controls with large LCD display.
  • External Cleaning: Smooth surfaces for easy cleaning with alcohol or bleach.

Technical Information BioFlash® Biological Identifier RAPID, BIOLOGICAL AEROSOL COLLECTION & IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM Feature Highlights The BioFlash® Biological Identifier is a bio-aerosol collection and identification system. Proven technology The BioFlash® provides rapid, sensitive and specific identification of biological threat agents and other pathogens including toxins. The portable and compact BioFlash® offers breakthrough capabilities in sampling performance, reliability and operational cost. Particle collection of 1-10 micron size particles Low operational and maintenance costs Compact and lightweight design Easy to use and decontaminate PCR levels of sensitivity and specificity Can be configured as a stand-alone device or an integrated component subsystem The BioFlash® uses proprietary aerosol collection technology and the platform CANARY™ technology to offer a complete, stand-alone solution for biological identification. CANARY™ technology was originally developed at MIT Lincoln Laboratory and has been tested at Pacific Northwest National Lab, Dugway Proving Ground and Edgewood Chemical Biological Center (ECBC). The technology has been used for over a decade in building security and mail screening applications. The instrument has a range of market applications including networked air monitoring for building protection, mailroom screening for military and commercial security, and a biological identifier for reconnaissance vehicles and mobile labs.
