Device and method for the detection of a fungal contamination in ambient air

摘要

The device has a separation module (MS) comprising a chromatographic micro column in downstream of a concentration module (MC). A detection module (MD) includes a sensor matrix in downstream of the separation module. A solenoid valve (E3) is provided in an upstream of the detection module and placed between the separation and the detection modules to direct flow containing target molecules toward the detection module or to direct flow filtered by a filtering unit i.e. tenax tube (Tx1), so as to allow cleaning of the detection module when the flow does not contain the molecules. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a control interface including a control card for a detection device (2) a method for detecting fungal contamination in an interior environment (3) a computer program loaded in a memory of a control unit comprising software code portions for performing a method for fungal contamination in an interior environment (4) a control interface including a computer program comprising a set of instructions for performing a method for fungal contamination in an interior environment.
