The IBAC 2 is a continuous air monitor that provides early warning for the presence of biological aerosol threats. The system combines both trigger and sample collection features into one integrated system that serves as a “smart” collector. Instead of randomly or continuously sampling the air onto a collection surface, the system will only trigger the collector when there is a high probability of a biological agent present. This greatly reduces the costs of consumables and number of samples to process and identify.
The IBAC 2 facilitates timely containment, treatment and remediation for concentrated levels of biological aerosols. Possible agents released in a bio-threat attack can include bacterial spores (such as B. anthracis, which causes anthrax), bacteria (such as Y. pestis, which causes plague), viruses (such as smallpox) and toxins (such as ricin).
Minimal training is required for operating the IBAC 2. It can operate as a standalone unit, meaning the operator simply places the sensor at the location of interest, turns on the power, and leaves it to monitor autonomously for a bio-alarm signal. Alternatively, the IBAC 2 can operate as part of a network configuration to form the "first tier" of a building air-security system. Communication and response can be managed through existing building control systems or an independent network.
*IBAC is formerly known as the Fido B2 IBAC
C100 Sold as an option for the IBAC 2, the C100 is a modular tactical sample collector for eventual threat analysis and identification.
IBAC 2 is a mature sensor with top-of-the-line sensitivity and low total cost of ownership. IBAC 2 is designed to run continuously in the background with minimal interaction. From long-term, fixed installations to short, mission-based tactical applications, the IBAC 2 offers a flexible field-ready solution for bio-aerosol monitoring.
The IBAC 2 is considered one of the most mature and widely deployed bio-detectors on the market today. With a decade of field-based operation, the IBAC 2 sensor has been refined and optimized for a variety of environments and a broad mission set. IBAC 2 sensors are currently deployed in the United States and around the world by government and commercial customers. It is most often used as a continuously running bio-aerosol detector and collector for building protection applications, but can also be used for mission-based first responders or force protection. Other applications have included air monitoring in mass transit facilities, vehicle/mobile lab systems, UAV planes, and OEM sensors for integrated CBRNE systems. The system is suitable for both indoor/outdoor environments and all types of weather conditions such as rain, sleet, snow, or high winds.
Since most biological agents have an incubation period of a few days to a few weeks, the key to minimizing harmful effects is to identify:
The IBAC 2 helps enable these four steps to occur quickly, thus making timely treatment and threat containment possible.
