MagPlasma awarded a SBIR Phase II project with the Federal Government to protect law enforcement personnel from contagions carried by detainees.

MagPlasma was awarded a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project to expand on the results of a previously awarded SBIR Phase I project to develop a device to protect Federal law enforcement personnel from contagions carried by vehicle passengers. In the SBIR Phase I project, MagPlasma built and tested 1st generation prototype Breathing Zone Air Purifier (BZAP®) device. This Phase II award is a two-year, million-dollar project to advance the 1st generation BZAP® device into a precommercial product, conduct two field tests with Federal law enforcement personnel, and conduct efficacy testing. The BZAP® device is expected to have significant commercial application with Federal and civilian law enforcement, emergency/First Responders, and with healthcare providers.
