BioSampler
The SKC BioSampler is a collection device designed for sampling airborne particulates of biological origin (e.g., bacteria, fungi, pollen, viruses) and their fragments and by-products.
- Allows use of non-evaporating collection liquids
- Significantly reduces particle bounce and re-aerosolization
- Preserves microorganism integrity and viability
- Reusable — can be autoclaved
- Provides greater sampling efficiency over longer sampling time
- Collected bioaerosols can be analyzed by a variety of methods
Specifications
| Performance Profile | Physical collection efficiency and biological collection efficiency are two performance characteristics that are critical to selecting the proper bioaerosol sampler. BioSampler collection efficiency is close to 100% over a wide range of particle sizes when operated at 12.5 L/min with water or a liquid of similar viscosity. For particles less than 1.0 μm in diameter, collection efficiency decreases to approximately 90% at 0.5 μm |
