A second-generation anthrax "smoke detector".

We have demonstrated quantification of aerosolized bacterial spores with a response time of 10 minutes, a sensitivity of 50 spores per liter of air, and a dynamic range of 4 orders of magnitude using a bioaerosol sampler, thermal spore lysis, and a lifetime-gated fluorimeter. This technology is amen...
