Biodetection
It takes 16 to 72 hours on average to
respond fully to a potential biological threat,
with much of that time spent identifying
what has been encountered. And yet every
second counts in treating those who are
exposed.
R
GE’s new suite of biodetection
products includes an innovative, nano-
technology-based sampler and analyzer
that decreases the average response time
to minutes while minimizing false alarms.
Such speed can accelerate treatment and
help limit a threat’s ability to spread. In 2005,
GE plans to add these biodetection capa-
bilities to GE StreetLab®
, a portable device
that detects both drugs and explosives.
Biodetection is an estimated $500 million
segment of the security industry that
is growing at more than 10% annually.
Making the world safer,
one particle at a time.
