BIO-SEEQ® MAIL SENTRY
Automated Mail and Package Biohazard Screening System
The BIO-SEEQ® MAIL SENTRY is designed to provide reliable on-site mail screening capabilities for the presence of biological threats such as Anthrax, Ricin, Tularemia, and Plague. All mail and parcels are processed through a negative pressure cabinet which protects the operator while ensuring contaminants are not spread throughout the facility. The MAIL SENTRY utilizes multiple technologies for analysis, including Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), which provides rapid, accurate results with extremely low false alarm rates. PCR is the same technology used in the U.S. Postal Service biological detection screening system.
Typical Applications:
- Government Buildings
- Corporate Headquarters
- Financial Institutions
- High Profile Buildings
