February 23, 2007—Bruker Daltonics Inc. is introduced its RAID-AFM (Autonomous Facility Monitor), designed to monitor large buildings and facilities for accidents or attacks involving toxic industrial chemicals or chemical warfare agents.
RAID-AFM is based on the company’s successful line of RAID ion mobility spectrometers (IMS), which feature excellent detection capabilities and sensitivity, combined with superior false positive rejection compared to other commercial IMS systems or technologies, says the company.
The RAID-AFM can detect and identify up to 20 chemical warfare agents and toxic industrial chemicals with short response times at IDLH (Immediate Danger to Live and Health) levels. It is designed to monitor critical infrastructure and larger buildings on a continuous basis 24 hours a day, and 365 days a year, without operator intervention and with minimal annual service requirements.
