Noncontact, Optical Molecular Method for Detection and Identificaton of Cryptosporidium Parvaum Oocysts in Drinking Water
Award Year / Program / Phase:
2004 / SBIR / Phase I
Agency:
EPA
Principal Investigator:
Shona Stewart, Senior Scientist
Award Amount:
$69,978.00
Abstract:
Contamination of drinking water with pathogenic microorganisms such as Cryptosporidium has become an increasing concern in recent years. Cryptosporidium oocysts particularly are problematic, because infections caused by this organism can be life threatening in immunocompromised patients. Current… More

TSR-SHIELD: Time & Spatially Resolved Standoff Hyperspectral Imaging Explosives LIDAR Detector
Award Year / Program / Phase:
2006 / STTR / Phase I
Agency / Branch:
DOD / ARMY
Research Institution:
UNIV. OF CENTRAL FLORIDA
Abstract:
Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) is being successfully transitioned to field applications in both close-contact (proximity) and standoff detection modes. LIBS is attractive since it can be used to detect a wide range of chemical, biological and explosive (CBE) hazardous materials. While… More
