CBRN Aerosol & Complex Threat Sample Preparation

CBRN detection and identification programs depend on reliable front-end sample collection and preparation.

InnovaPrep technologies support the recovery, concentration, and characterization of biological and complex aerosol samples, helping transform challenging environmental matrices into analysis-ready concentrates for downstream analysis

Supporting CBRN Detection Workflows

Modern CBRN programs require more than sensitive analytical instruments. They also require effective methods for collecting, recovering, concentrating, and preparing samples prior to analysis.

InnovaPrep solutions support aerosol collection, liquid sample concentration, and workflow development activities used by government agencies, defense contractors, and research organizations.

 

Applications:

  • Biological aerosol collection
  • Complex aerosol evaluation
  • Environmental sample preparation
  • CBRN technology development
  • Detector support studies
  • Laboratory evaluation programs
