ASAP II™ Collection/Detection System
The ASAP II collection/detection system was Research International's original mail room screening system. It employed two Homeland Security approved instruments: The SASS 2300 air sampler integrated with the RAPTOR bioidentifier. These proprietary Research International instruments were integrated with additional detection equipment to effective screen incoming mail for the presence of CBRNE threats. The ASAP II system effectively protected the mail rooms of federal agencies, banks, and corporations for many years after its introduction in 2003.
Today, the RAPTOR/SASS 2300 combination for mail rooms has been superseded by the BioHawk LF®, a sophisticated, fully-automated instrument integrating UV-C based biodetection, cyclonic wet sample collection, and lateral-flow bioassay identification. The BioHawk LF is the cornerstone of ASAP III, Research International's next generation of mail room protection. ASAP III offers drastically reduced operating costs and virtually eliminates delays in mail processing.

SASS® 2300 Wetted-Wall Air Sampler
The SASS 2300 Plus is a highly efficient, multiple-effect, wetted-wall cyclone collector that extracts and transfers pathogens from sampled air to a small fixed water volume for subsequent user-defined wet analysis. A unique and patented feature is its ability to perform this function continuously for an extended time period without fluid sample loss. This feature is particularly valuable for continuous long-term monitoring. Longer sampling periods also provide useful amplification of low-level airborne concentrations.

RAPTOR™ Bioassay Detection System
This rapid, automatic fluorometric assay system, now retired, was a portable 4‑channel system for monitoring toxins, viruses, bacteria, spores, fungi and other diverse targets. An extremely reliable third-generation product introduced in 2000, the RAPTOR was a reliable and durable instrument used in concert with the SASS 2300 for bioidentification in our ASAP II mail room systems.
Today, the RAPTOR/SASS 2300 combination for mail rooms has been superseded by the BioHawk LF®, a sophisticated, fully-automated instrument integrating UV-C based biodetection, cyclonic wet sample collection, and lateral-flow bioassay identification. The BioHawk LF is the cornerstone of ASAP III, Research International's next generation of mail room protection.
