BioSpot-VIVAS - Model BSS310 -Bioaerosol Sampler System
The BioSpot-VIVAS bioaerosol sampler, provides high-efficiency, gentle collection of bioaerosols into a liquid medium. It uses a patented laminar-flow water condensation growth tube (CGT) method.
- High efficiency collection – viruses, bacteria, fungal spores, toxins, proteins, allergens
- <10nm to 10µm, >90% efficiency
- Concentrated samples into liquid for high sensitivity analysis
- Gentle collection maintains viability
- Can instantly preserve DNA/RNA
- Airborne disease transmission
- Environmental microbiome
- Infectious disease surveillance in public, transportation, medical and agricultural settings
- Biocontamination monitoring in clean pharmaceutical aseptic manufacturing
- Defense/Homeland Security bio-surveillance
- Non-invasive characterization of particles from exhaled breath.
