Aerodynamic particle sizer (APS) users typically calibrate the particle sizing capabilities, but not the counting efficiency upon which aerosol concentration results are based. Herein, comparisons were made between the counts provided by an ink jet a

A method is provided for estimating size distributions in terms of both culturable particles (CP) and culturable organisms (CO) from a single sample collected with an Andersen bioaerosol impactor. Half of the agar surface of each Petri dish is covere

Contemporary near-real-time bioaerosol identifiers that read labeled DNA require a minimum DNA length of about 500,000 base pairs; and for critical applications, instrumental identification results must be verified through the use of classical microb

The proof of concept of a novel in-line real impactor (IRI) for preseparation of large particles in ambient inlets was demonstrated with a 1,250 L/min design. Numerical simulations predicted a cutpoint Stokes number 0.3 for a ratio of jet-to-plate sp

Advances in microfluidic, lab on chip, and other near-real-time biological identification technologies have driven the desire to concentrate bioaerosols into hydrosol sample volumes on the order of tens of microliters (μL). However, typical wet biol

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) was used to study aerosol penetration through the entrance section of a bell-shaped omni-directional ambient aerosol sampling inlet. The entrance section did not include either an insect screen or a large-particle p

Four commercially available batch-type bioaerosol samplers, which collect time-integrated samples in liquids, were evaluated. Sampling efficiency was characterized as a function of particle size using near-monodisperse polystyrene spheres (sizes of 1

A wetted wall bioaerosol sampling cyclone with an aerosol sampling flow rate of 1250 L/min and a continuous liquid outflow rate of about 1 mL/min was developed by upgrading an existing system. The aerosol-to-hydrosol collection efficiency curve for t

The collection efficiency and sample retention of a batch-type wetted wall bioaerosol sampling cyclone (BWWC) were experimentally characterized. The BWWC is designed to sample air at 400 l/min and concentrate the particles into 12 ml of water. Aeroso

A cone was placed just upstream of the second stage of a Two-Stage Circumferential Slot Virtual Impactor in an attempt to uniformly distribute 10 μm aerodynamic diameter (AD) aerosol particles so a circumferential inlet of the second stage, which wa
