When the war against terror is going all over the world, we certainly need these ultimate weapons to fight their mean plots. Anthrax is a bio-weapon used by terrorists to spread the feeling of awe and fear in general public.
Veritide bacterial spore detector is a handy instrument developed by the University of Canterbury (NZ) to detect the Anthrax spores. Initial testing has shown encouraging results up to 99 % correct. The optical technology used in the Veritide apparatus spots the physical distinctiveness of spores, providing rapid information within a few minutes.
Going through the final stage, Veritide can be expected within the first quarter of next year.
Christchurch, the producing company, is expecting collaboration with a wide range of government agencies, in order to make many such detection equipment like water quality analysis, decontamination and detection of biologics, air quality analysis, etc.
