The Air-O-Cell®
is a unique air sampling cassette specifically designed for
the rapid collection of a wide range of airborne aerosols
including mold spores, pollen, insect parts, skin cell
fragments, fibers (e.g. asbestos, fiberglass, cellulose,
clothing fibers, etc.) and inorganic particulate e.g. ceramic,
fly ash, copy toner, etc.). The Air-O-Cell®
collects both viable and non-viable sample specimens,
providing a much broader overview of potential allergens
contaminants than conventional sampling techniques.
The Air-O-Cell®
operates upon the principle of inertal impaction. Particulate
laden air is accelerated as it is drawn through the cassettes
tapered inlet slit and directed towards a small slide
containing the collection media, where the particles become
impacted, and the air flow continues out the exit orfice. The
adhesive nature of the collection media prevents the collected
particulate from blurring or being washed off during the
laboratory staining process, and eliminates sample loss from
vibration during handling and shipment.
After sampling is completed, the cassettes are sent to a
laboratory, where the slides are removed and direct
microscopic analysis can be immediately performed. The
collection media is compatible with a wide range of biological
stains and refractive index oils, allowing direct quantitative
analysis of organic and inorganic particulate.
The Air-O-Cell®
can be used with any standard off-the-shelf area sampling pump
capable of drawing 15 LPM open flow. The small compact size
makes Air-O-Cell®
suitable for use in confined or restrictive spaces.
With its proprietary engineered design, ease of use, and
compatibility with typical everyday area sampling pumps, its
easy to see how the Air-O-Cell®
cassette is setting the new standard in IAQ sampling and
analysis.

All bioaerosol samplers are not created equal and will not
provide the same results. The data they provide is a
reflection on your reputation and Zefon encourages
you to know the difference between them. |
