Edgewood Chemical Biological Center Gathers wide ranged information about virus threats Not limited by reagents Not limited by prior knowledge Detection of multiple viruses in one analysis. Detects unknown and modified viruses Detects empty virus capsules Commercialized/COTS Integrated Virus Detection System

Edgewood Chemical Biological Center Virus Sample Concentrate (10 -4 mechanical Advantage) Counting means Automatic recording of virus concentration and size Fast Virus Counting Platform Utilizes “Virus Window” Counts intact virus particles without PCR, antibodies or reagents Detection of all viruses types – enables detection of all viruses, including unknowns. Multiple viruses counted in same sample in a few minutes. Accumulate over time ( additional advantage) Integrated Virus Detection System
