UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND, BALTIMORE COUNTY DEPLOYS SMITHS DETECTION’S BIOFLASH FOR SARS-COV-2 AIRBORNE DETECTION

KUALA LUMPUR, April 14 (Bernama) -- Smiths Detection has announced its BioFlash® Biological Identifier has been successfully used by the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) to identify airborne SARS-CoV-2 inside their campus in real-time at the point of testing.

The global leader in threat detection and security screening technologies, Smiths Detection in a statement said BioFlash Biological Identifier was currently available.

As part of their mitigation strategy for COVID-19, UMBC’s Environmental Safety and Health (ESH) team have been using BioFlash across the campus.

In one instance, the airborne detector was deployed to help the campus community safely re-enter a research facility after a person working there tested positive.

After multiple tests performed on the BioFlash ruled-out the presence of airborne SARS-CoV-2, the ESH team deemed the facility contamination-free, allowing staff and students to safely return and research to continue without significant pause.

At a separate instance, in a collaborative effort with the UMBC Sports Medicine Department, a test conducted in a team locker room resulted in a positive environmental detection on the BioFlash.

This detection ultimately led UMBC to test all people present for COVID-19, identifying three infected individuals. This helped prevent further spread of the virus.

BioFlash works by collecting and analysing air samples using sensitive, selective and rapid detection technology to identify the presence of dangerous pathogens onsite without the need to involve a laboratory.
