Detection tech innovator Kromek has landed a UK Government contract worth £4.9m to create systems that identify biological threats.
The County Durham-based firm said it will start work next month on the three-year programme that comes with the possibility of extended maintenance services after that period. In a brief update to investors offering few details of the contract, Kromek said the deal would see it develop and supply the systems which could identify infectious diseases.
Kromek Group plc designs, develops and produces x-ray and gamma-ray imaging and radiation detection products for the medical, CBRNe security, Homeland Security and civil nuclear radiation detection markets.
