Performance Characterization Methods of Aerosol Samplers; Conference paper

摘要

Samplers are characterized at ECBC using the following methods: (1) monodisperse fluorescent/nonfluorescent PSL microspheres with fluorometric analysis or Counter analysis, (2) polydisperse solid aluminum oxide particles with APS analysis or Coulter Multisizer analysis, (3) fluorescent oleic acid particles with fluorometric analysis, and (4) bioparticles with Coulter Multisizer, culturing, ELISA, PCR, and APS analyses. PSL microspheres are generated using the Collison nebulizer, sonic nozzle, Ink Jet Aerosol Generator (IJAG), and puffers. Aluminum oxide particles are generated using the sonic nozzle, fluorescent oleic acid particles are generated using the Vibrating Orifice Aerosol Generator, and bioparticles are generated using the puffers, IJAG, and sonic nozzle.
