    Abstract: Devices, systems and methods are disclosed which relate to a prefiltration device that can be used with the concentrating pipette instruments and other devices which draw a sample in through one opening and dispense a concentrated or eluted sample out through the same opening. The device allows the sample to be passed through a prefilter when entering the opening and then bypassed the prefilter when being dispensed through the same opening.

    Abstract: Highly efficient and rapid filtration-based concentration devices, systems and methods are disclosed with sample fluidic lines and a filter packaged in a disposable tip which concentrate biological particles that are suspended in liquid from a dilute feed suspension. A sample concentrate or retentate suspension is retained while eliminating the separated fluid in a separate flow stream. The concentrate is then dispensed from the disposable tip in a set volume of elution fluid. Suspended biological particles include such materials as proteins/toxins, viruses, DNA, and/or bacteria in the size range of approximately 0.001 micron to 20 microns diameter. Concentration of these particles is advantageous for detection of target particles in a dilute suspension, because concentrating them into a small volume makes them easier to detect. A single-use pipette tip includes fluid ports for aspirating the sample and connecting to a concentrating unit.

    Abstract: The present subject disclosure discloses devices, systems, and methods related to collection and recovery of Aerosols and Bioaerosols for analysis. The system includes an omni-directional inlet assembly that is easily removed for decontamination and can be replaced with an already clean inlet assembly or with directional inlets or other tools for collection from animal breathing zones, air ducts, air nearing moving vehicles and other sampling scenarios. Further, the system includes other features that enable the device to be lower in cost than other similar systems while providing improved usability and performance.
