Singapore: Known as BioXcap, it is able to test for up to 10 different types of such agents, including anthrax, plague and toxins like ricin.
The Bioaerosol Threats Detector, known as BioXcap, is able to test for up to 10 different types of such agents, including anthrax, plague and toxins like ricin.
HTX’s Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and Explosives Centre of Expertise began work on the BioXcap in 2019, with the goal of having less manual testing and to get accurate results closer to real-time. “Biological agents are not incredibly accessible, but if someone is able to get their hands on such agents and releases them into the air, there may be mass casualties.”
Aside from testing the samples, the sensor can also store samples of interest such as toxins for scientists to analyse.
