Official Description

The Chemical and Biological Defense Program (CBDP) faces a critical challenge: the need for rapid, deployable diagnostic capabilities in far forward or expeditionary environments. Maintaining the health and readiness of the total force hinges on the ability to rapidly develop and deploy diagnostic assays in response to emerging threats and infectious diseases. However, current technologies present significant limitations. Existing nucleic acid synthesizers rely on reagents that demand cold chain...
