Contact SKC Technical Support before sampling for thoracic, respirable, and inhalable fractions simultaneously. This sampling technique also allows for better microoganism survivability when compared to filter-only sampling. The IOM Sampler with MultiDust allows personal bioaerosol sampling with the added benefit of size selection. Using the IOM Sampler with MultiDust Foam Discs separates bioaerosols into inhalable, thoracic, and respirable fractions. This data can be used to better understand the health effects associated with bioaerosol exposure.
Qualitative analysis is by growth culture and microscopy.
Both types can be autoclaved. Air Sampling Filter Selection Guide . MultiDust disks are designed for single use only. Instead of packaging four or five different calibration adapters for the field, pack only one Multi-purpose Calibration Chamber. The rugged 32-oz polypropylene jar contains a quick screw cap and barbed fitting for easy use.
