BioSpot-GEM Bioaerosol Sampler

Aerosol sampling can be used to monitor the presence of airborne pathogens like SARS-CoV-2, SARS1, MERS, influenza, measles, chicken pox, tuberculosis, Legionella bacterium, anthrax, hanta virus, norovirus, others that are naturally occurring or could be intentionally released by a bioterrorist. The condensation growth tube (CGT) method of air sampling for biological materials is a novel technique and is a compact, rugged and easy to use, fully integrated collector. This method ensures the integrity of the sample by its gentle collection onto a readily available swab. The unique opportunity about collecting a swab sample is that the analysis method for the SARs-CoV-2 virus, is readily available through laboratories and owners of PCR instruments. Store the sample swab tip in the sterile vial until it is analysed. The genomic preservative preserves the sample for up to a month at room temp.
