"To help them make informed decisions about which biological agent detection devices best meet their needs, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) recently developed a two-volume guide for the emergency response community. The guide, produced for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), does not make recommendations. It provides the community with ways to compare and contrast commercially available biological detection equipment."
DHS intends to maintain and update the guide as new information on biological detection equipment becomes available. The Guide for the Selection of Biological Agent Detection Equipment for Emergency First Responders is available at www2.rkb.mipt.org.
