Technical Information Prime Alert BIO-DETECTION AND THREAT VERIFICATION SYSTEM Feature Highlights • On-site results in minutes • Easy-to-use, versatile test kits • Performs highly accurate, broad spectrum analysis • Detects the presence of potentially life-threatening biological microbes and biotoxins • Complimenting orthogonal technology provides the highest level of accuracy in field analysis Prime Alert is a field-proven, portable biodetection system that screens unknown powder samples for suspicious levels of all microbes and key bio-toxins. Prime Alert comprises a rugged, field portable, palm-size reader (a fluorometer) which can be decontaminated. It includes 5 individual sampling assay kits. The Microbe Screen tests for the presence of significant quantities of bacteria, bacterial spores and most viruses. The Toxin Screen tests for the presence of Ricin, Botulinum and SEB (Staphylococcal Enterotoxin B). The system was designed in collaboration with first responders and law enforcement agencies and has been widely deployed globally. It contains all the sampling tools needed to rapidly verify potential biological threats in the field. When confronted with potentially high threat suspicious powders, use of Prime Alert as an orthogonal technology to LATE PCR™ (Linear After the Exponential Polymerase Chain Reaction) and FT-IR (Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy) gives responders the highest level of confidence in their field analysis by providing critical information needed to manage public safety.
