Aerosol Collectors

In order to support public health concerns and mitigate potential disease/pandemic outbreaks, the ability to capture, maintain and process viable environmental aerosol samples is critical. It is widely understood that mitigating vector diseases (especially at mass gathering events) requires efficient, early and timely laboratory analysis. To meet that challenge requires a highly capable deployable and maintainable aerosol sample collector.

Dycor’s family of aerosol collection systems have been successfully deployed in support of international mass gathering events by public health agencies at events including the 2010 Winter Olympics and G-8/G-20 conventions. When environmental aerosol samples are collected and time correlated with local and regional meteorological conditions, public health officials and first responders are better prepared to mitigate their challenges.

Hospitals and other health facilities have additional requirements. Efficient low noise profile aerosol sampling instrumentation is vital to support infection control and mitigate unexpected transference of infectious diseases. Dycor has developed a new product line of aerosol collectors to meet the demands of hospitals as well as industrial hygiene applications. These new collectors exhibit an extremely low “not noticeable” noise profile and have been independently validated to performance standards.

Dycor continues to refine aerosol sampling technologies for use in a variety of environment and disease monitoring applications, as well as contributing to leading-edge research and development in these areas. Click on the following to see which collector matches your needs.
