BioSpot-GEM - Model BSS302 -Bioaerosol Sampler System

• High quality particle sampling onto a swab
• Collects 10nm to 10µm particle sizes with equal effectiveness
• Small, lightweight and quiet operation
• Samples directly onto stabilizer (patent pending) for instant DNA/RNA preservation
• Concentrated, contamination free collection
• Analysis compatible with virus/microbial testing methods, such as PCR and sequencing

• Collects viruses, bacteria, fungal spores, toxins, proteins, allergens
• Non-invasive collection of particles from exhaled breath
• Infectious disease surveillance and IAQ mitigation assurance
• Suitable for all indoor public, industrial, medical and agricultural environments

A laminar-flow condensation growth tube (CGT) encapsulates airborne particles into liquid droplets and gently deposits the droplets onto surface. This technique substantially improves the efficiency and quality of collection of bioaerosols (less than 10nm to 10um) sampling directly onto a sterile stabilized swab.

Whereas other techniques suffer from desiccation, mechanical stress, thermal stress and re-aerosolization, the BioSpotGEM sampler is quiet and efficiently and safely collects particles in public settings without distraction.

The BioSpot-GEM sampler includes a starter sample kit for immediate use (8 samples).
