Abstract

See full text

The present disclosure describes a method and apparatus for collecting samples of particles from air or other gases at one or more monitored locations, and identifying in real-time whether biological agents, such as bacterial or viral pathogens, are present in the samples. The apparatus preferably uses a liquid-assisted collector to collect the sample of particles, which are suspended in a liquid that contains dyes that detect the presence of nucleic acids. An integrated detector with a light source and a light detector detects whether there is a change in the fluorescence of the liquid, which indicates the presence of a biological agent in the sample.
