Portable Aerosol Spectrometer for Differentiation of Biotic Material

Model 1.209	Portable Aerosol Spectrometer for Differentiation of Biotic Material Quasi Real Time Differentiation of Biotic and Abiotic Material
Biological agents are categorized into fifteen different size bins and agents are captured on a glass slide that can then be stained and placed under a fluorescent microscope. This whole procedure can be done in just minutes if needed to provide information for quick response purposes.

A portable aerosol spectrometer for real time differentiation of biotic and abiotic material with impactor and sample carrier.

Particles are analyzed in accordance with their size and count distribution and collected for further biological evaluation.
