The AerosolSense Sampler has the following features:
●Continuous sampling
●Small, easy to use design
●Highly sensitive and stable aerosol collection and separation technology
●Validated specifically for the SARS-CoV-2 pathogen, the sampler
design is intended to capture a wide variety of in-air pathogens
Features

Introduction
Product Description
1-2 AerosolSense Manual Thermo Scientific
The sampler collects air samples through an omnidirectional inlet. A
sample cartridge installed into the sampler contains the collection substrate.
The air sample is directed toward the collection substrate through an
accelerating slit impactor. Particles are trapped on the collection substrate
as the air is drawn through the sampler. After the sampling cycle, the
sample cartridge is removed, placed into a biohazard bag, and sent to a
laboratory for PCR testing. There are three laboratory testing options: (1)
self-testing at on-site lab, (2) third party lab testing, or (3) Thermo Fisher
Scientific testing services.
