APPARATUS FOR TRAPPING FLOATING BACTERIAL CELLS, METHOD FOR COUNTING FLOATING BACTERIAL CELLS, AND SYSTEM FOR COUNTING FLOATING BACTERIAL CELLS

摘要

ABSTRACTA floating bacteria counting device capable of trapping floating bacteria in air continuously for a long time without decreasing trapping efficiency even if the time before a trapping carrier being replaced is prolonged and a floating bacteria counting method and a floating bacteria counting system using the floating bacteria trapping device are provided. A nozzle (16) is formed of a plurality of pinholes (16a) arranged at equal intervals. If a pitch interval between the pinholes (16a) is d, a driving mechanism (22) causes a support container (20) supporting a trapping carrier (30) to move in a horizontal direction so that the support container (20) draws a circle of less than d in diameter.
