Abstract

The instruments described in this section aim at detecting biological particles suspended in air. This chapter describes the art and components of sampling the aerosol and transporting the particles to the actual detection unit, while keeping them airborne. Depending on the detection principle, later stages may require transferring the particles into another medium such as a liquid.
