Challenge for Detection systems Inexpensive Portable Real Time detection Death occurs within 15 minutes for tabun, sarin and somon

Invention #1 What? A method and apparatus for real time or near real time detection of nerve agents Broad spectrum bio-detection of nerve agents

Invention #1 The Science: The method- Mix protein complexes with colorimetric compounds to detect low concentrations of chemical warfare agents. The detection is achieved by monitoring changes in the optical spectrum of the compound The apparatus- a small badge which can monitor the changes in the optical spectrum

Invention #2 What? An alarm system for hand held chemical monitors Science When the monitor senses a chemical agent an electric signal is sent to the indicator which emits an audible alarm.
