Patent ID: 7880878

Claim:
A method for bio-detection comprising: waiting for a broadcast signal; receiving a broadcast signal and storing and re-broadcasting previous results of the OPC to other NABSA systems; determining whether a broadcast signal is received from other NABSA systems; determining the signal type results detected by each NABSA system in a network; sampling and reading all the signal type results from the NABSA systems to the data monitor; evaluating the sampling results in the data monitor by comparing to predetermined warning thresholds; determining whether the sampling rate should be decreased or increased; waiting for a signal from a Particle Counting Module indicating that a potential threat is detected; adding a non-fluorescent dye to the samples; illuminating the samples by a UV light source to examine for fluorescence; detecting fluorescence with a fluorometer; drawing an air sample for testing; employing a speciation method for testing, such as Polymerase Chain Reaction; and comparing the result to common biological warfare agents.
