SAFEMTX Multi-Threat Detector SAFECOM Command Center
SAFESITE multi-threat detection system; typical installation and components

The SAFESITE Multi-Threat Detection System monitors, detects and communicates the presence of up to six potential threats, including chemical warfare agents (CWAs), gamma radiation, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), toxic industrial chemicals (TICs), combustible gases and oxygen deficiency - all within a wireless network.
The SAFESITE System combines state-of-the-art detection technology with advanced wireless communications capabilities to provide superior preventative and counter-measure solutions for:

• Homeland Security
• Emergency Response
• Public Events
• Building Protection
• Mass Transportation Centers
• Perimeter Monitoring
• Hazardous Response
• Port Surveillance
• Confined Space Monitoring

The SAFESITE System consists of two main components, the SAFEMTX™ Multi-Threat Detector and the SAFECOM™ Command Center. The system can be installed permanently (wired or wireless) for continual monitoring or deployed as a portable system.
The SAFEMTX Multi-Threat Detector utilizes multi-sensing technologies to detect up to six potential threats; helping first responders, law enforcement and government agents reduce the risk of exposure and facilitate consequence management.

Threat Technology Benefit
Chemical warfare agents Surface acoustic wave (SAW) Low false positive and false alarms, differentiates nerve and blister agents
Gamma radiation Cadmium zinc telluride (CZT) Sensitive with adjustable threshold and 2 ranges. (0 - 100 mR/hr, 0.1 mR/hr resolution & 0 - 1000 mR/hr, 1 mR/hr resolution)
Volatile organic compounds Photo-ionization detector (PID) 10.6 eV lamp provides ppm readings for broadband toxics and VOC detection
Toxic industrial chemicals Electro-chemical Detects many specific toxic gases such as chlorine, ammonia, hydrogen cyanide and hydrogen chloride
Oxygen deficiency/enrichment Electro-chemical Oxygen monitoring for confined space
Combustible gas Catalytic bead Wide range detection for hydrocarbons

The SAFECOM Command Center receives mission-critical information from the SAFEMTX Detectors and permits this crucial and wide-ranging data to be quickly converted to practical information for rapid decision-making through an uncomplicated graphical user interface. The SAFECOM Command Center can manage up to two systems with 16 SAFEMTX Detectors per system, integrating SAFEMTX data, including:
• Gas readings
• Relative CWA Threat Level
• Radiation dose rate
• Alarm status
• GPS location
• Battery run time
• RF signal strength
• Fault conditions
• SAFEMTX min, max, and average values
Through the SAFECOM Command Center, alarms are identified with both visual and audible alarms; alarms can then be acknowledged and silenced, detectors can be enabled and disabled, event logs and event log history can be viewed, plus units can be customized to suit specific deployment scenarios.
The SAFECOM Command Center maps SAFEMTX Detectors through GPS technology, specific address input or “click and dragging” icons onto images. The SAFECOM Command Center is also a TCP/IP hub, allowing all information to be placed on a network for remote viewing.
Wireless Technology:
The SAFESITE System provides two miles of wireless communication between any SAFEMTX Detector and SAFECOM Command Center and when necessary, the SAFECOM Command Center can configure any SAFEMTX Detector as a repeater to ensure maximum signal strength and reliable deployment without the need to move units.

BIOSENSOR 2200R Biological Agent Detector
BIOSENSOR 2200R Biological Agent Detector  BIOSENSOR 2200R in use

BIOSENSOR™ 2200R Biological Agent Detector
The new BIOSENSOR 2200R Biological Agent Detector from MSA is a handheld, portable, on-site instrument for rapid detection, analysis, and identification of biological agents. Unique bioassay technology offers excellent sensitivity and low false positives while offering ease of use during white powder response calls. This highly accurate detection method provides rapid measurement of biohazards such as anthrax, ricin, botulism, SEB, and plague.
Exclusive five minute time-to-answer allows first responders to make informed critical decisions more rapidly than any other biological agent detector. The BIOSENSOR 2200R employs dynamic surface generation, a patent pending type of immunoassay detection technology. This technology offers significant advantages over other field-based assay methods by combining the benefits of both the free solution and lateral flow types. The result is more rapid analysis, a user-friendly format, and detector stability within a wide range of climates.
Both wet and dry samples may be tested and results are displayed with a simple red (target presentl or green (no target presentl indication. As tests are nondestructive, samples may
be retained as evidence. Single-test, disposable cartridges with on-board reagents have a 12-month shelf life. This instrument is permanently housed in a sturdy, lightweight Pelican case.
Instrument Features and Benefits

  • 5 minute time-to-answer
  • Uses positive and negative control cartridges
