BioCapture® 650 - FLIR.com

PRODUCT OVERVIEWBioCapture® 650PORTABLE AIR SAMPLERThe BioCapture ® 650 was designed for first respondersworking in unfamiliar, challenging and dangerousenvironments. We know that emergency situations are noplace for chemistry set-ups and delicate instrumentation.The BioCapture is cutting-edge air sampling technologypacked in a rugged, lightweight package. Large singlebutton operation means responders can quickly executethe sampling mission and proceed to other objectives.The key to the BioCapture is the integrated collectorcartridge. With the rotating impactor, fluid chamber, fluidlines and sample vial pre-assembled in one disposablecartridge, the system is deployment ready when youare. When the operation is complete, simply replacethe cartridge and you are ready for your next mission.There are no internal lines to decontaminate, no sandor dirt to clean out of moveable parts and corners.Simplify your biosampling preparedness program withthe BioCapture.FEATURES• Single button operation in hot zone• Deployment ready for emergency use• Laboratory effectiveness in a rugged 7.5 lbpackage• Collects typical agents released in a biothreatattack including bacterial spores(such as B. anthracis, which causes anthrax),bacteria (such as Y. pestis, which causesplague), viruses (such as smallpox) andtoxins (such as ricin)• 100% decontamination ability• Highly operable in sand, dust and inclementenvironments• Flexible sampling times• Disposable collector cartridge prevents crosscontamination• Easy to operate by user in fully dressed LevelA or MOPP-IV gear

The BioCapture represents a significant leap forward in airsampling technology. Incorporating the latest technologicalbreakthroughs in particle collection, the portable, handheld unitcaptures airborne pathogens and spores into a concentratedliquid sample. A snap-in, disposable sampling cartridgeminimizes set-up and decontamination. The BioCapture providesthe user with an effective and easy to use instrument for fast,safe and efficient biological agent collection.SPECIFICATIONSHeightWidthLengthWeightSampling Flow RateParticle Size CollectionLiquid Sample VolumeSampling TimesPower SupplyElectricalOperating Angle5.25 in (13.3 cm)6 in (15.2 cm)14.5 in (37 cm)7.5 lbs (with battery and cartridge)200 liters per min0.5 to 10 microns2 to 5 ml5, 15, 30 and 60 minLithium Ion battery12 VDC, 26 watts0° to 20° (horizontal)The BioCapture collects micron andsubmicron airborne particles.
