The company reported today that it has received a purchase order for its 5-agent biological detection equipment from Boeing Service Company, a fully-owned subsidiary of Boeing Defense. The detection equipment is designed to check for anthrax, ricin, botulinum, Y pestis (plague) and other bio-hazards in as little as three minutes.
