Abstract: This invention relates generally to characterizing bioaerosols and, more particularly, to a system for recovering, quantifying, identifying, and assessing the metabolic activities of bioaerosols based on their major biopolymer profiles (lipids, carbohydrate and protein) and more specific their genetic materials (DNA/RNA), such as airborne viruses, bacteria, fungi and pollens.

Abstract: The present invention features a device and method for directly collecting airborne particles onto a swab collection substrate. Prior to collection, water vapor may be condensed onto the particles to increase their average diameter. The particles are expelled from one or more acceleration nozzles for gentle impaction onto the swab collection substrate and may be further analyzed through chemical or biological assays.
