L. A.,TrudeU, D.E., Baca, Q.J., Chambers, W.C., Martinez, J.I. (2003) Miniature sensors for biological warfare agents using fatty add profiles. Ldrd 10775 Final Report, Sandia National Laboratories. [Pg.439]

The Block II chemical biological mass spectrometer (CBMS II) is the most recent version in an evolution of fieldable mass spectrometer systems designed for military detection and identification of chemical and biological warfare agents (CWA and BWA, respectively). It builds on the experience and performance of previous versions and employs the latest advances in the components that comprise the system. Two of these predecessors in particular have made important contributions to this development, the mobile mass spectrometer (MM-1) and the Block I chemical biological mass spectrometer (CBMS I). [Pg.64]

In addition to the immunochromatographic assays, another system used by the Allies during Desert Storm for the detection of biological warfare agents was the Light Addressable Potentiometric System (LAPS) produced by Molecular Devices (Sunnyvale, CA)19. The LAPS detected toxins and... [Pg.442]

Developments in biotechnology have created the promise of prevention for many more infectious diseases and chronic diseases and build the confidence in acquiring new effective measures against biological warfare agents. [Pg.139]

Vaccines The currently available inactivated whole cell vaccine is not recommended for protection from a biological warfare agent since it does not protect laboratory animals from aerosolized plague. However, the vaccine is effective in preventing bubonic plague in persons in endemic or epidemic areas. [Pg.156]

Smart Air Sampling System (SASS) The SASS is an air sampler designed to collect and concentrate biological aerosols into a liquid media for subsequent analysis. The collected liquid sample is then provided to a bio-detection field device to determine whether biological warfare agents are present. The SASS can take a 5-7cc sample in ten minutes, and is battery-operated for up to eight hours. [Pg.333]

An increased awareness of the potentials of global bioterrorism has also prompted the investigation of nonconventional ways to create inexpensive vaccines on a rapid, massive scale if necessary (Hilleman, 2002). Plant-derived vaccines offer a potential new defense against biological warfare agents as they are inexpensive and can be easily scaled up to millions of doses within a short time frame. The vaccine can be stored for several... [Pg.140]
