Joint Biological Agent Identification and Diagnostic System (JBAIDS)
Description: The Joint Biological Agent Identification and Diagnostic System (JBAIDS) is an integrated system for rapid identification and diagnostic confirmation of biological agent exposure or infection. Based on commercial technology, JBAIDS is man-portable, reusable, and will be capable of the simultaneous identification of multiple Biological Warfare Agents (BWA) and other pathogens of operational concern. The system consists of the hardware platform to perform sample analysis, a laptop computer for readout display, and assay reagent test kits. Mission: Provide rapid positive identification and diagnostic confirmation of BWA and other pathogens of operational concern. User: U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, U.S. Air Force, and U.S. Marine Corps
Capabilities: ♦ Single , stand alone DoD accepted platform for both identification and diagnostic confirmation of biological agents ♦ Operate in fixed medical laboratories and deployed medical units ♦ Future development capabilities of the Next Generation Diagnostics (formerly JBAIDS Block III) include rapid, reliable, simultaneous identification of multiple BWA, toxins and other pathogens while interfacing with the DoD Global Information Grid. Improvements Over Existing Technology: ♦ Provides simultaneous identification of multiple biological agents ♦ Rapid identification
