Stratophase has co-authored, with the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (DSTL), a poster entitled 'Multiplexed Detection of Biological Agents Using Optical Microchip Sensors'.
The poster will be presented at the SPIE Security and Defence conference in Toulouse, France, from 20-23 September 2010.
The interactive poster session will take place on 21 September, during which Stratophase personnel will be present to explain the application of its Spectrosens multi-channel optical microchip sensor system for the detection of a wide range of biological agents, in real time.
A single, multi-channel Spectrosens chip has been shown to successfully detect B.atrophaeus (BG) spores, E.coli vegetative cells, MS2 viruses and ovalbumin (OVA) proteins as simulants of biological warfare agents.
The Spectosens system is geared for portability, making it suitable for on-site and in-field monitoring and the accurate detection of biothreats.
