"Northrop Grumman, Cepheid and ETG Working to Develop PCR-Based Bio-Threat Detectors for Mail Sorting Systems
BALTIMORE and SUNNYVALE, Calif., March 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Northrop Grumman Corporation's (NYSE: NOC - news) Automation and Information Systems Division, Cepheid (Nasdaq: CPHD - news) and Environmental Technologies Group Inc. (ETG), a wholly owned subsidiary of London-based Smith's Aerospace, have announced that they are working collaboratively on the adaptation of DNA-based bio-threat detection technology for use on U.S. Postal Service (USPS) mail sorting systems.

The proposed system utilizes polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology to rapidly analyze air samples taken from mail sorting systems and detect trace levels of DNA from anthrax spores and other biological agents.

The USPS recently announced that it was evaluating PCR technology for possible deployment later this year. No contract has been awarded at this time."
