The Prime Alert device is a proven, portable biohazard detection system that scans powder samples of unknown origin for suspicious levels of all types of microbes and major biotoxins.

​

Prime Alert consists of a palmtop-sized reader (fluorometer) and five individual sampling kits. The Microbe Screen is designed to detect significant quantities of bacteria, bacterial spores, and most viruses. The Toxin Screen identifies ricin, botulinum toxin, and staphylococcal enterotoxin B.

​

The system was developed with input from emergency services and law enforcement agencies and has been widely used worldwide. It includes all the samplers necessary for the rapid identification of potential biological threats in the field.

​

When potentially hazardous powdered substances are detected, the Prime Alert system (a combination of LATE PCR (post-exposure polymerase chain reaction) and FT-IR (Fourier Transform Infrared) technologies) provides first responders with the highest level of confidence in the accuracy of field testing, providing all the vital information needed to ensure public safety.

The manufacturer offers first-class service, training, and assistance to ensure optimal performance of the Prime Alert system.
