May 4, 2005—Sceptor Industries has announced the Omni 3000, a portable aerosol collector for first responders, environmental health and safety (EHS) managers, and indoor air quality experts that uses SpinCon technology to aid in chemical, bioaerosol, and biothreat detection, the company says.
SpinCon technology was originally developed for use by government agencies, including national homeland security organizations.
The Omni 3000 quickly and effectively captures and concentrates samples of air to test for potential chemical contamination, environmental hazards, or biothreats, including: outbreaks of anthrax and other pathogens; the presence of mycotoxins (molds) in buildings; airborne chemical compounds and clean room contaminants.
The device collects samples in sealed sterile cartridges for secure transfer to a laboratory for analysis. Each cartridge yields enough material for multiple tests of its contents.
