IMASS™ – A unique detection platform for
military and 1st responders

BBI Detection has developed an “Integrated Multiplex Assay and Sampling System” – IMASS™, to sample and identify biothreats or explosives in white powder or liquid incidents. The IMASS™ platform provides the ability to rapidly sample powders liquids or surfaces using the integrated sampling sponge, once the sampling has been completed and the device is run, the sample is transferred simultaneously to all of the integrated assay strips. The IMASS™ was specifically designed with simplistic functionality and a robust ergonomic design to give end users the quickest and most reliable hand held assay and sampling system available.

The IMASS™ is available in a Biothreat Detection format and an Explosive Detection Format.

Advantages over current systems used include:

• Integrated Sampling and Assessment
• Ease of use (particularly when wearing full protective equipment
• Results in minutes
• Increase in sampling area
• Robustness
• Sample retention and recovery
• Device can be decontaminated after sampling
• Low training burden
• No power requirements

Biothreat Detection IMASS™

The Biothreat Detection IMASS™ device provides a crucial advance in rapid testing, particularly for ‘white powder’ incidents. The device is used to directly sample powders, surfaces or liquids using an integrated sponge, then eight immunoassay strips are run simultaneously from the sample giving results for eight biothreat agents in 15 minutes. Its robust design* means that the IMASS™ device is straightforward to run and to read, even while wearing full protective equipment.

Explosive Detection IMASS™

The Explosive Detection IMASS™ provides a crucial advance in rapid explosive detection for military, police, border and other first responders. The device is used to directly sample surfaces, solids and liquids using an integrated sponge. A number of test strips are then run simultaneously from the sample, giving visual results for military explosives and multiple homemade explosive components in 3 minutes. Its unique rugged design* means that the IMASS™ device is straightforward to run and to read, even while in full protective equipment.
