• Description:
  We recently developed two novel electrostatic samplers for biological aerosols: 1) a bench scale sampler with a very high concentration rate and 2) a low-power personal sampler. The first sampler, electrostatic precipitator with superhydrophobic surface (EPSS), collects airborne biological particles onto a narrow electrode covered by a superhydrophobic substance. The collected particles are then removed and collected by rolling water droplets (20 to 40 microliters). This novel sampling concept allows achieving very high sample concentration rates. The second sampler, personal electrostatic bioaerosol sampler (PEBS) charges airborne incoming biological particles using a novel wire-to-wire charger design, and deposits them onto a dual-sided metal plate. This wearable sampler is a self-contained and battery operated unit, and is suited to assess personal exposures to airborne biological agents. [Description provided by NIOSH]
