The protection against biological and chemical agents (BC-agents) requires expert knowledge and just the right tools. TNO has both. At TNO Defence, Security and Safety numerous specialists daily work on R&D, including BC-research. Our latest facility is the 12m³ Bioaerosol Test chamber that was installed at Rijswijk, the Netherlands.
After a period of testing, validation and optimisation, this chamber is now fully operational. In combination with our other facilities, the Bioaerosol Test chamber enables us to offer a complete and unique range of products and services connected with the protection against BC-agents.
The use of the Bioaerosol Test chamber offers important advantages over outdoor field tests: tests are guaranteed to be fully controlled, reproducible and cost-effective. The chamber has extended facilities for connecting all types of biodetectors, including those built into military vehicles. One additional feature specifically important for military users is our capability to measure diesel soot interference. Client questions include:
