TacBio®
Tactical Biological Aerosol Detector
The TacBio® was developed by the U.S. government for military, homeland security, and public health applications. It is a compact and rugged portable biological particle detector that used both diffractive scattering and natural biological fluorescence to monitor aerosol particulates and classify them as being of either biological or non-biological origin.
While the original TacBio is no longer available for purchase through Research International, we continue to offer parts and support for this workhorse product. Existing customers may request a quote for replacement parts in the "Parts and Accessories" tab below.
For the latest generation of biodetection instruments, please see our Tac-7C, Tac-7SD, and BioHawk LF products.
