Biosurveillance & Security 

Enhance Security of Critical Infrastructure and High-Risk Environments with Enhanced Biothreat Detection  

Biosurveillance is a critical component of national security, enabling the early detection and monitoring of biological threats. Our technology supports the rapid concentration and detection of pathogens and other biological agents from environmental and forensic samples. By enabling rapid detection of anomalies, our solutions enable timely responses to potential threats and support forensic investigations. In a world where biological risks are ever-present, our tools ensure that you can monitor, detect, and respond with precision and speed.

Scientific Information

Analysis revealed mixtures of human DNA in room air, at levels suitable for identification of individuals.

"This study shows that human DNA can be collected from the air and provide STR genotypes of the individuals that have recently spent time in a room."

Scientific Information
air samples obtained from seven of the nine curation cleanrooms at Johnson Space Center, which included the OSIRIS-REx ISO 5 equivalent and the Meteorite ISO 7 equivalent. The report noted the Bobcat Sampler's electret collection media meets their criteria better than conventional samplers that use liquid media or petri dish agar media.
Scientific Information
Hear how scientists at the Earlham institute are using samples collected from AirPrep Cub Samplers for project called Air-seq. They use the samples to perform DNA sequencing to detect the presence of plant pathogens as an early warning system.

what sets us apart

multi-target concentration 

Capture multiple target organisms from large volumes. 

detection system agnostic 

Elution buffers are highly compatible with any downstream method from culture to molecular and viability studies. 

rugged portability

Lightweight and field ready to withstand extreme environments. 

This dry sample collection method allows us to meet materials requirements for all the curation labs and reduces the risk of inadvertently introducing contamination as part of our monitoring effort," the report stated.
