Delta Scientific enters the secure mail sorting business
Company ships its first BioBooth to a U.S. embassy in Europe; prefabricated building offers ample space for storing and state of the art decontamination tools; if an attack occurs, booth can be quickly sealed and moved off premises
Protecting critical infrastructure is more than just building defensive barriers and keeping out undesireable people; it also requires a concerted effort to ensure that nothing dangerous is inadvertently brought in by unwitting messengers. First and foremost in this sector is mail screening — the 2001 anthrax attacks spurred the industry — and that is where Palmdale, California-based Delta Scientific comes in. The company is already known for its of high security barricades, and now it has made its first aggressive foray into the mail screening business. It announced this week that its first bio-defense Mail Room Inspection BioBooth had been shipped to an unnamed U.S. embassy in Europe.
“Designed with major input from the U.S. Department of State, our new BioBooth concept will be the first line of biological weapons defense for many governmental and corporate organizations worldwide,” said Delta’s David Dickinson. The booth features sufficient space for sorting, a bench top-mounted HEPA-filtered laboratory hood, and a controlled drainage system. Most importantly, however, is the pre-fabricated design. Not only does that make it easy to ship and install, it also means that if the booth becomes contaminated it can be quickly sealed and removed from the area. If another booth is stored nearby, it can be quikly deployed, keeping operational interruptions to a minimum. Both standard and custom size BioBooths are available.
