The IBAC 2 is a continuous, real-time air monitor that alarms in less than 60 seconds when an airborne bio-threat is present. In wide service throughout the world, IBAC 2 is used to collect and detect aerosolized agents for all four classes of biological threats (spore, viral, cellular, and protein toxins) with low false alarms.
