A Low Cost, Portable, Biologically Active Sub-Micron Particle Detector

Big Sky科学有限公司已经组建了一个团队来开发一种创新的设备来解决测量生物活性颗粒的挑战。快速成型、气溶胶和光学专业知识，加上微工程和制造升级，将使这种设备在短时间内实现商业化。我们预计该设备将有利于医疗保健行业和边境巡逻官员，并将提高设备用户（及其生成的数据）的能力，以更准确地评估社区内covid - 19和其他空气传播病毒感染的污染水平。这在病毒脱落发生在其他可检测症状之前的感染中尤其有价值。这将有助于减少所需封锁条件的规模和持续时间，最终使个人和更广泛的经济受益。

Big Sky Science Ltd has assembled a team to develop an innovative device to solve challenges in measuring biologically active particles. Rapid prototyping, aerosol and optical expertise, coupled with microengineering and manufacturing upscaling, will allow such a device to be commercially available within a short period of time.We anticipate this device will be of benefit to the healthcare industry and border patrol officials, and will enhance the ability of users of the device (and the data it generates), to more accurately assess levels of contamination of both COVID19 and other airborne viral infections within the community. This is especially valuable in infections where viral shedding occurs prior to other detectable symptoms. This will have the effect on reducing the scale and duration of required lockdown conditions, ultimately benefiting individuals and the wider economy.
