Shoreview, MN.— TSI Incorporated, a worldwide leader in biodetection technology, is supplying a key component to the system that Dycor Technologies Ltd., of Edmonton, Canada will provide under contract to Rheinmetall Landsystems to deliver biodetection instrumentation to The United Arab Emirates.  TSI supplies Fluorescence Aerosol Particle Sensors (FLAPS) to Dycor’s advanced biological agent detection and sampling system, for integration into Rheinmetall’s Fuchs biodetection reconnaissance vehicles.  These vehicles are the world’s first exclusively biodetection-focused, fielded reconnaissance vehicles. TSI’s Model 3317 (FLAPS) is the core of this system.  It provides three real-time measurements of individual airborne particles.  These measurements, when processed using appropriate alarm algorithm techniques, deliver exceptional agent discrimination and interference rejection response for biological threat detection applications.  Integrated within Dycor’s biological agent warning system, the FLAPS serves as the fast-responding sensor to initiate sample collection andentification techniques to confirm or reject a biological condition.  TSI Incorporated investigates,entifies and solves measurement problems through the design and production of precision instruments.  TSI partners with research institutions and customers around the world to set the standard for measurements relating to aerosol science, air flow, indoor air quality, fluid dynamics and biohazard detection.
