Remote sensing using an airborne biosensor

Article Abstract:

An integrated fiber optic biosensor system is uniquely positioned for any number of bioanalytical challenges where full-time operator presence is neither practical nor possible. According to a study, the fiber optic biosensor was integrated with an automated fluidics unit, a cyclone-type air sampler, a radio transceiver, and batteries on a small, remotely piloted airplane capable of carrying a 4.5-kg payload. The biosensor system was able to gather aerosolized bacteria in flight, identify them and transmit the data to the operator on the ground.

Remote sensing using an airborne biosensor

Article Abstract:

Experiments on remote environmental testing show the feasibility of integrating a biosensor into a portable, remotely controled system for environmental analysis. A fiber-optic biosensor was integrated with an automated fluidics unit, a cyclone-type air sampler, a radio transceiver, and batteries on a small radio-controled airplane and was found to be able to collect aerosolized bacteria in flight, identify them, and transmit the data back to the ground operator.

Automated fiber optic biosensor for multiplexed immunoassays

Article Abstract:

Researchers from Geo-Centers Inc. and the Center for Bio/Molecular Science and Engineering demonstrated the capability of RAPTOR, a rapid, automatic, and portable fiber optic fluorimeter to perform immunoassays on 144 blind samples. RAPTOR was able to detect Bacillus sp. spores, ovalbumin, Erwinia sp. and MS2 phages from the samples.
