BSM-2000
DISCONTINUED: The BSM-2000 HVAC unit continuously monitors the air for dipicolinic acid (DPA), which is unique to bacterial spores. The DPA instantaneously reacts with the chemical sensor in the solution, which triggers an intense green luminescence when viewed under ultraviolet light. The intensity of the luminescence corresponds to the concentration of bacterial spores in the sample.
