Abstract

The BioCapture^TM is a handheld commercially available product for the collection and concentration of airborne particulates. Designed for use by first responders in an emergency, the BioCapture^TM allows for forensic analysis of any environment, providing a means for determining the characteristic and extent of human health threat. In the present study, the basic technologies that comprise the BioCapture^TM are discussed. Also included are presentations of data that compare the performance of the BioCapture^TM with traditional aerosol collectors.
