Bioaerosol Sampler Selection Guide

Sampler	Principle of Operation	Flow Rate (L/min)	Contaminants	Sampler Advantages
Button Sampler	Filtration using porous membrane	4 (optimum)	Fungi (viable and non-viable), endotoxins, bacteria	Superior collection uniformity Low sensitivity to ambient conditions Sample suitable for viable and non-viable analysis Personal bioaerosol sampling
BioStage Single-stage Impactor	Impaction onto culture media	28.3	Fungi (viable) and bacteria	SureLock positive seal Organisms remain intact and viable Cost effective and reusable Time-proven collection method Meets NIOSH Methods 0800 and 001
VersaTrap Spore Trap Cassette	Impaction onto sticky glass slide	15 (optimum)	Fungi (viable and non-viable), pollen, fibres	Reduces particle bounce Prevents sample loss and blurring Allows direct quantitative analysis Enumeration of fungal spores with low culturability
BioSampler	Collection into swirling liquid	12.5 (sonic flow)	Fungi (viable and non-viable), endotoxins and bacteria	Maintains constant collection efficiency over 8 hours Reduces particle bounce and reaerosolisation, preserving viability
Microvacuum Sampling Cassette	Filtration using porous membrane	10 (optimum)	Fungi and fibres	Easy to use Suitable for high flows to enhance detection Microvacuum nozzle for efficient sampling in carpeting
Sterile Surface Swab Kit	Wipe sample	N/A	Fungi (viable and non-viable), bacteria	Easy to use Suitable for growth cultures Non-destructive Collects surface contaminants
Stick-to-it Lift Tape	Lift tape surface sample	N/A	Fungi, pollen, fibres	Ensures consistent sample area Serialised for sample identification Includes transport case for mailing to laboratory
