A bio-monitoring device used to detect coronavirus and other microbial threats in air and surfaces, is now available in Kenya after a medical equipment company secured its distributorship deal. The ADC-200 Bobcat, which runs on battery power or wall power, aptly samples outdoor or indoor environments in relatively quiet operation. “ADC-200 Bobcat provides simple and straightforward methods for collection and detection of SARS-CoV-2 and other pathogens present in an environment,” she said. And with Kenya moving towards phased reopening of the economy including easing travel restrictions enforced to curb the spread of Covid-19, the Bobcat Air Sampler will help address gaps in environmental controls and provide proactive air contamination monitoring tool. ADC-200 Bobcat enables a faster, easier, and more efficient means of delivering the most highly concentrated sample possible for subsequent analysis.
