A Biological Warfare Detection Device (Bioward I)

Abstract

Using a bulk acoustic wave immunosensor device, Staphylococcus enterotoxin B and two simulant Biological warefare agents (bacteriophage MS-2 and bacteria Erwinia herbicola) could be detected in a direct fashion without the use of labelled antibodies. The detection device is incorporated into a ruggedized suit-case together with an aerosol sampler and sample handling system and can be used in the field for military monitoring purposes.
