Chem/Bio Defense

ARA develops new methods for protecting individuals from chemical and biological hazards and performs testing to determine the efficacy of existing protection methods and products.

We develop anti-microbial filters for masks, reactive clothing that can detoxify an agent when it contacts clothing, and decontamination agents that are easily transportable, highly effective at killing biological agents and are non-corrosive. We develop fate and transport models that predict the dispersion of hazardous agents as well as environmental effects that degrade the agents during transport.

Our test labs are Bio-Safety level 2 certifiable.
