Research abstract
Most biological warfare agents (BWA) are deployed as aerosols, which involves spreading small BWA particles into the air, along with a multitude of ambient aerosol particles. Downwind from a release, concentration levels of just a few particles can fallon an object or person and still pose a threat. Unfortunately technologies for rapidly assessing biological agents in the environment remain underdeveloped. MSI proposes to develop an all-in-one BWA-chip based on field usable enzyme linked immunosorbentassay (ELISA) technology that can provide rapid,
