Bruker Daltonics Launches RAID-AFM and RAID-S2 for Long-Term Chemical Monitoring in Homeland Security and Defense Infrastructure Protection.TAMPERE, Finland -- The NBC NBC in full National Broadcasting Co. Major U.S. commercial broadcasting company. It was formed in 1926 by RCA Corp., General Electric Co. (GE), and Westinghouse and was the first U.S. company to operate a broadcast network. Detection Business of Bruker Daltonik GmbH, based in Leipzig, Germany, today announces the RAID(TM)-AFM and the RAID(TM)-S2, two new stationary chemical detectors, at the NBC 2006 Symposium on Chemical, Biological, Nuclear and Radiological Threats in Tampere, Finland. For over 15 years, Bruker Daltonics has been recognized as a leading expert in chemical detection applications of ion mobility spectrometry (IMS (1) See IP Multimedia Subsystem. (2) (Information Management System) An early IBM hierarchical DBMS for IBM mainframes. IMS was widely implemented throughout the 1970s under MVS and continues to be used under z/OS. ). The Company has implemented its advanced and unique IMS technology in its RAID(TM) series of mobile and stationary chemical agent and toxic industrial chemical detectors, which have earned a sterling reputation. The latest version of the Company's IMS spectrometer is the handheld RAID-M 100, which has been called the "world-leader" in the NBC detection community, based on its superior interference rejection, ease-of-use and logistical benefits. The RAID-M has been included in the U.S. Approved Product List for Homeland Security according to "The Support Anti-Terrorism by Fostering Effective Technologies Act of 2002 (SAFETY ACT)". The new RAID-M 100 technology has now been integrated into the Company's stationary platform, formerly known as RAID-S. Originally designed to serve both the chemical defense and the critical infrastructure market, the RAID-S has now been redesigned and updated, resulting in two different products for two different applications. The new RAID-AFM (Advanced Facility Monitor) meets the demand for a "slimmed down" instrument for critical infrastructure and facilities monitoring, while the RAID-S2 is a hardened instrument available for military missions. Both new products provide numerous benefits and further improvements, including even better detection performance, improved long-term storage, lower maintenance requirements, an intuitive library concept, and a lower activity isotope source. In addition, the new RAID-AFM provides web-based diagnostics and control capabilities. Mr. Sebastian Meyer-Plath, Vice President for NBC Detection at Bruker Daltonics, commented: "With the launch of these two new products, we are addressing the emerging differentiated market requirements for stationary homeland security chemical agent and toxic industrial chemical monitoring and detection for critical infrastructure and facilities, as well as for integrated CWA CWA Clean Water Act (33 USC) CWA Communications Workers of America CWA Concerned Women for America CWA CEN Workshop Agreement (European pre-normative document) CWA County Warning Area CWA Clean Water Action detection in mobile military platforms, such as navy ships."
