    Abstract: A sensor system is provided for measuring particle concentration and mass concentration in an aerosol. An optical sensor (33) is used for measuring a particle concentration and a mechanical sensor (32) is used for measuring a mass of collected particles. A particle concentration in the aerosol is monitored using the optical sensor (33), until detection of a particle generating event. Upon detection of a particle generating event, a mass measurement using the mechanical sensor (32) is performed and the mass measurement is used to calibrate the optical sensor (33). This approach enables the lifetime of the mechanical sensor to be extended, because it is only used when events are detected. The optical sensor, which typically is less accurate for mass sensing, is calibrated by the mechanical sensor.

    Abstract: A sample is added to a chamber (12) in which magnetic particles (P) are provided. The sample includes a target component (T) and the chamber (12) has a detection surface (122). A magnetic force is exerted on the magnetic particles (P) to attract the magnetic particles (P) to the detection surface (122). The bound magnetic particles that captured the target component (T) in the magnetic particles (P) and the unbound magnetic particles that captured no target component (T) in the magnetic particles (P) are held at the detection surface (122). At least part of the sample is drained out of the chamber (12) and a new sample added to the chamber (12). The magnetic force exerted on the magnetic particles (P) is altered to release the unbound magnetic particles from the detection surface (122). An amount of the bound magnetic particles that are held at the detection surface (122) are measured. The target component (T) is preconcentrated by repeating the steps of magnetically binding the target component (T) from the newly added sample and washing the detection surface (122) from unbound magnetic particles.

    Abstract: The invention proposes a sensor device (10) and a method of sampling. The method comprises the steps of: A. adding a sample to a chamber (12) in which magnetic particles (P) are provided, the sample including a target component (T) and the chamber (12) having a detection surface (122); B. exerting a magnetic force on the magnetic particles (P) to attract the magnetic particles (P) to the detection surface (122), wherein bound magnetic particles that capture the target component (T) in the magnetic particles (P) are held at the detection surface (122), and unbound magnetic particles that capture no target component (T) in the magnetic particles (P) are held at the detection surface (122) as well; C. altering the magnetic force exerted on the magnetic particles (P) to release the unbound magnetic particles from the detection surface (122); D. measuring the amount of the bound magnetic particles that are held at the detection surface (122); E. determining whether the amount of the bound magnetic particles that are held at the detection surface (122) is above a predetermined threshold; if no, performing the following steps of: exerting the magnetic force on the magnetic particles to attract the magnetic particles (P) to the detection surface (122); draining at least part of the sample out of the chamber (12) and adding a new sample to the chamber (12); altering the magnetic force exerted on the magnetic particles to release the unbound magnetic particles from the detection surface (122); and going back to perform the steps B to E. By doing so, the target component (T) is preconcentrated by repeating the steps of magnetically binding the target component (T) from the newly added sample and washing the detection surface (122) from unbound magnetic particles.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for determining levels of gaseous elements and optionally utilizing the determined levels to calibrate one or more sensors of an air purifier. For example, in some implementations a first image is captured of a colorimetric sensor device at the start of a sensing period and a second image is captured of the colorimetric sensor device at the end of the sensing period. The colorimetric sensor device includes at least one colorimetric sensor configured to change colors in response to reaction with a gaseous pollutant. Values may be determined based on the colors of the colorimetric sensor in the first and second images and the values may be utilized to determine a pollution value indicative of the amount of the gaseous pollutant to which the colorimetric sensor was exposed during the sensing period.
