Filters Optimized for Bioaerosol Sampling

Filter sampling is an easy, efficient method for sampling bioaerosols including vegetative bacteria, fungal cells, spores, and fragments such as endotoxin. Filter sampling allows samples to be taken sequentially and can provide information about the relative changes in bioaerosols throughout the day. However, less hardy microorganisms can lose culturability due to desiccation during sampling. New gelatin filters help to prevent desiccation of microbes. SKC offers the following filters for the collection of bioaerosols.
