Principal advantages of the CeekerTM -
| Step 1. | A potential bacterial spore threat is reported. The threat may be any unidentified powder material. |
| Step 2. | The first responder locates the unidentified sample and submits it to the CeekerTM. |
| Step 3. |
The first responder presses the Ceeker'sTM analyze button. |
| Step 4. | Within minutes, the first responder reads the LCD display. Clear indication of the presence of bacterial spores is presented. No interpretation is necessary. |
| Step 5. |
The first responder makes an informed decision on how to proceed. The CeekerTM is ready for immediate re-use. |
That's all! No complicated sample preparation. No complicated and slow analysis. No sample is consumed, contaminated or destroyed.
Unlike other bacterial detection systems, the CeekerTM relies on non-destructive, non-invasive optical analysis. Optical analysis allows detection of bacterial spores, without physically contaminating, consuming or heating the sample.
The CeekerTM is a fully integrated device, with everything required contained in one lightweight, handheld unit. This includes optical systems, embedded optical recognition protocol software, a battery pack, and an LCD display.
An independent national laboratory has been engaged to verify the detector's optical recongition capabilities. So far, these tests confirm the system's ability to detect as few as 3,000 bactieral spores in dry and liquid samples, even in masked samples such as mixtures of spores, dried flour, baking powder, talcum power and dust. Competing systems typically have minimum detection limits in the range of 10,000 to 10,000,000 spores.
Testing to date applies to proof-of-technology and preproduction development detectors. Further independent testing programs will be undertaken for production models. These programs will be conducted at a range of laboratories, including those specified by regulatory authorities and key customers.
