Project: Detection of Environmental Agents Using a
Novel Aerosol Sampler Coupled to a Microfluidic Assay
Overview of R&D project for the National Institutes of
Health:
Develop a personal exposure monitor for endotoxins,
combining several technologies:
- ľADL aerosol concentrator
- Capillary particle collector
- Novel endotoxin assay
- Electrochemical readout
- Microfluidic analyzer
- GPS or RFID position sensing
Benefits of this technology include:
- Very small size and weight
- Mass-produced, disposable sampling train and analysis
components
- High concentration factors
- Low-power, rechargeable battery, 8- to 12-hour operation
per charge
- Frequent, time- and position-resolved sample collection
with automated, on-board assays
- Low cost
Applications of this technology include:
- Epidemiological studies
- Security personnel protection (first responders, law
enforcement and more)
- Military: troop protection
- Health care facility monitoring
