BioSpot - Condensation Growth Tube Collector Brochure

The BioSpot collector performs much like the human lung, providing high-efficiency, gentle collection into liquid through condensationally enhanced inertial deposition. A laminar-flow condensation growth tube (CGT) encapsulates airborne particles into liquid droplets and gently deposits the droplets onto a liquid surface. The air sample flow is 8 L/min, equal to the average rate at which a person breathes. Particles from this flow are deposited into 2 mL of water or nutrient broth solution. Bioaerosols, including viable viruses, bacteria, fungal spores, toxins, and exhaled proteins are collected with high efficiency. The high-fidelity, concentrated samples are ready for lab analysis.
