摘要： A system (200) for taking and analysing air samples is presented. The system includes an air sampling unit (210), a sample processing unit (220), an imaging unit (230), and a transport mechanism (240). The air sampling unit receives an air filter cartridge having an air filter and a slide, and to passes a volume of air through the air filter. The sample processing unit (220) applies a solvent onto the air filter to obtain a sample matrix on the slide. The imaging unit (230) obtains an image of the sample matrix. The transport mechanism (240) takes the air filter cartridge and moves it from one unit to another within the system. A processor processes the sample matrix image and calculates a concentration of contaminant particles. An air filter cartridge for use with the system is also presented.
