Claim Text:
1. An automated optoelectronic sensor device for detecting a target particle in an air sample using a photon detector comprising: a) a radial disc comprising a plurality of tubes and valves; b) an aerosol collection assembly coupled to the radial disc, wherein said aerosol collection assembly localizes particles from the air into said tubes by dry impaction; c) a manifold assembly, wherein said manifold assembly actuates valves in the radial disc to deliver emittor cells to said tubes wherein said emittor cells comprise a receptor and an emittor molecule, wherein binding of the receptor to an antigen results in an increase in intracellular calcium, and said emittor molecule emits a photon in response to the increase in intracellular calcium, wherein upon rotation of the radial disc the emittor cells are localized in said tubes.
