How fast can BioVigilant’s IMD instruments detect the presence of microbes?
BioVigilant’s IMD instruments detect the presence of microbes instantaneously as the environmental air passes through the device. The determination of the presence of microbes is done on an individual particle-by-particle basis at a time period equal to the time it takes for a particle to pass through the laser beam– about 1 millisecond. The length of time it takes to sample a particular volume of air is determined by the flow rate for the IMD-A either 0.1 CFM or 1 CFM.
