Abstract:
A contactor is positioned coaxially with and substantially within at least one separator, and otherwise is configured to receive aerosolized target particles of interest as a sample. The use of a plurality of separators that are coaxial with each other and the contactor increases the number of separations involving target particles and other constituents of air at a sampling point, whereby in some embodiments the separators are rotatably configurable relative to each other and to the contactor.

Claim (Index 1):
A particle separation and collection method using a separator and a contactor having an outer wall with an outer wall thickness, comprising:\n arranging a contactor coaxially with at least one separator, wherein the contactor further comprises at least one opening through the outer wall thickness and at least one separator surrounds the contactor, and arranging the contactor to be rotatable relative to the at least one separator; configuring a tangential opening in the at least one separator allowing entry of constituents transferred from a sampling point to the at least one separator through a conduit; establishing, within the contactor and the at least one separator, a rotational gas movement pattern; separating a first fraction of constituents from a second fraction of constituents wherein the first fraction passes into the contactor through a contactor opening and the second fraction of constituents does not pass through the contactor opening; and contacting constituents from the first fraction with a carrier liquid inside the contactor.
