Patent ID: 8250903

Claim:
An aerosol particle collection device comprising: a pump; a humidifier; a filter; an inlet for a gas sample; a first inertial impactor; a steam generator; a chiller/heat exchanger; a second inertial impactor; and a collection reservoir; wherein the pump, humidifier, filter, inlet, first inertial impactor, steam generator, chiller/heat exchanger, second inertial impactor and collection reservoir are in series; the gas sample comprises an aerosol; the collection reservoir collects particles trapped by the second inertial impactor; the inlet is downstream from the humidifier; the first inertial impactor is downstream from the inlet; the steam generator is downstream from the first inertial impactor; the chiller/heat exchanger is downstream from the steam generator; the second inertial impactor is downstream from the chiller/heat exchanger; and the collection reservoir contains a liquid and is downstream from the second inertial impactor.
