SSAMI 10 Bio-Threat Detection

SSAMI 10 Panel - Designed for Quick, Safe & Accurate Identification
The SSAMI Bio-Threat Detection Device provides CBRN Defense Forces and Emergency Responders with a powerfully small, portable, rapid testing device for ‘white powder’ incidents. Using an integrated sponge, the device samples powders, surfaces, or liquids directly. A panel of 10 immunoassay strips is run simultaneously from the sample, giving results for biothreat agents and street drugs in just minutes. A second sample is retained in the device for follow-up testing. Pocket-sized SSAMI enables the first responder to act quickly in the field and remain chain-of-custody compliant.

Mountain Horse Solutions is revolutionizing bio-threat detection with the SSAMI 10 panel, featuring four new lateral flow assays (LFIs) for Brucella melitensis, Burkholderia mallei/pseudomallei, Coxiella burnetii, and Orthopox (Variola major/monkeypox). Partnering with New Horizons Diagnostics (NHD), a globally trusted leader in bio-detection, ensures seamless integration with existing SSAMI strips, unmatched efficacy, and rigorous quality control. With NATO-tested and DTRA-validated technology, SSAMI 10 is designed to enhance troop readiness and survivability in the field. Available worldwide in July 2025—because in bio-defense, every second counts.

The SSAMI 10 Bio-Threat Detection simultaneously tests for the following biological threats:

• Brucella
• B-psued
• C-Burn
• O-pox
• Bacillus anthracis spores
• Yersinia pestis
• Francisella tularensis
• Botulinum toxin A (BOT A)
• Staph Enterotoxin B (SEB)
• Ricin

Features:

• Results in 15 minutes
• Easy to use in full MOPP/PPE
• No power requirements
• Samples surfaces, solids, and liquids
• Facilitates the chain of evidence

Testing Made Simple:

The surface sampling device (SSD) is coupled with a Lateral Flow Strip Test Assembly Container (LF-STAC). The SSD is standard to all contaminated surface sampling and can be used to sample biological agents, chemical agents, explosives, narcotics, and other pathogens. It comprises a pre-moistened sponge that is used to collect the sample. Once returned to the housing, the sample is safely contained and allows ‘no contamination’ transfer of at least 1.8 ml sample to be injected into the LF-STAC. The LF-STAC, containing up to 12 threat detectors, will then analyze and display the results. A second sample is retained in the SSD, which can be used for confirmatory testing in a second LF-STAC, retained for further laboratory analysis, or safely stored as evidence.  The LF-STAC can be configured to customer requirements.
