The IBAC 2 is a continuous, real-time air monitor that alarms in less than 60 seconds when an airborne bio-threat is present. It uses UV-Laser induced fluorescence to discriminate biological organisms from background particles, reliably detecting all four classes of biological agents at concentrations below 100 ACPLA with low false alarm rates and no consumables. The IBAC 2 system can operate independently, as part of a network configuration to form the “first tier” of a building protection system, or via battery power module for mobile detection capability. The system automatically alarms upon detection, collects and preserves samples for confirmatory analysis, and transmits data to command and control centers. From long-term, fixed installations to short, mission-based tactical applications, the IBAC 2 is the most mature and widely deployed biological trigger on the market today.
