These teams were trained to use the blossoming technology of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in detecting four BW agents within a matter of hours. This was revolutionary, as traditional microbiological techniques took from 18 hours to days to produce a result. Even more exciting was the fact that a "delicate" technology such as PCR could be ruggedized and perform successfully in a deployed e...
