| Researchers at Purdue University have developed a small device which can quantify bacteria in bioaerosols. Unlike current aerosol bacteria detection methods which required an outside lab for analysis, this device can rapidly analyze samples. It is a wearable device that can be easily fitted onto the user. A removable sample collection container can be assayed with a conventional biocounter via ATP bioluminescence. Advantages: -Quantifies bacteria in aerosol particles -Rapid results -Cost-effective Potential Applications: -Monitoring airborne bacteria levels -Establishment of worker safety standards |
