| What are the three ways to do dry weaponization? | Drying, milling and fluidizers |
| Drying is done by? | Drying oven for spores, vegetative cells are freeze dried or lyophilized, and spray drier |
| Miling pros | Makes agent into a fine powder, exists in a respirable range and easier to disseminate as a mailed package |
| Fluidizing pros | Aids in dissemination by preventing cake of powders and allows agent to float much easier |

| Antigen definition | A foreign substance, that when introduced into a host organism, elicits an immune response in the form of an antibody |
| Polyclonal antibodies (Pabs) features | Many different antibody clones grouped together and high cross-reactivity which leads to false positives |
| Monoclonal antibodies (Mabs) features | A single antibody clone or type, no issues with cross-reactivity and yields poor sensitivity due to bind to one particular epitope on antigen's surface |
| What is on the HHA foil packaging information? | Shelf life, lot number, package date, expiration date and spoil indicator black |
