Andersen sampler

Using an Andersen sampler, total counts of airborne BCFP ranged from 3 to 7 (/103) close to pigs. In general, values increased 3-fold as the pigs grew from 3 weeks to 7 weeks old and halved when internal filters were installed. 

The Andersen sampler is a six-stage circular jet impactor. Each stage has 400 jets of a certain diameter. For stage 3, the jet diameter is 0.028 in. For stage 4, the jet diameter is 0.021 in. Assuming a flow rate of 1 ft3/min and...

The Sierra 210 Series of impactors (Andersen Samplers, Inc.) consist of 10-, 8-, and 6-stage devices. These use radial slots rather than circular jets as described in the previous examples. The device is designed to offer the advantage of a greater number of stages in the submicrometer range at a selected flowrate that effectively renders it of little relevance to pharmaceutical aerosols.

The Andersen PM 10/2.5 dichotomous sampler accurately monitors ambient air for coarse and fine particulates (Figure 6.26 Andersen Samplers Inc., 4215 Wendell Drive, Atlanta, GA 30336). The dichotomous (dichot) sampler separates aerosol particles into two distinct size fractions, 2.5 and 10 pm ( coarse particles) and less than 2.5 pm ( fine particles). The virtual...

The intrinsic germicidal property of the Ti02 support was also tested for natural indoor bioaerosol. A piece of cotton cloth was coated with a colloidal suspension of the nanostructured Ti02. After drying, a circular piece of the cloth was cut and fitted inside the Andersen viable single-stage sampler in such a way...

Although inventive, these samplers were cumbersome, as a result extensive sampling was impractical. The renaissance of aerobiology was essentially the mid 20th century when samplers were developed that made repeat observations feasible. The two chief samplers developed at this time were the Hirst spore trap and the Andersen culture impactor [2, 3]. The half-century since their development has seen aerobiology greatly expand and support fields such as plant... 

The true workhorses of aeroallergen samplers however, are all impactors (table 1). The rotorod, the Burkard (Hirst-type) spore trap, the personal Burkard, the Air-O-Cell, and the Andersen (several types) are all impactor...
