CALIBRATION OF A MODIFIED ANDERSEN BACTERIAL AEROSOL SAMPLER.

Abstract

A study of the flow regime in the commercial Andersen sampler revealed defects in the sampling of the larger airborne particles. Satisfactory sampling was obtained by redesigning the hole pattern of the top stages and adding one more stage to extend the range of the instrument. A new, rational hole pattern is suggested for the lower stages. With both patterns a special colony-counting mask can be used to facilitate the assay. A calibration of the modified system is presented which enables particle size distribution curves to be drawn from the colony counts.
