General Description
Coriolis RECON is a ruggedized bio-aerosol sampler, dedicated to CBRN Recon teams or first responders with quick deployment in case of an event with bio-threat suspicion. This unit is efficient, portable and has been ruggedized for use in an unfamiliar environment
Technical Description
Coriolis RECON is based on wet cyclonic technology and has been designed to collect low and high concentrations of airborne biological pathogens (viruses, bacteria, allergens, etc.) in the breathable range of 0.5-10 microns in size. The air flow rate is 600 liters/min. Air is first aspirated into a cone pre-filled with collection fluid in a whirling motion to form a vortex. Particles are pulled against the cone wall due to centrifugal force and separated from the air to be concentrated into the liquid. Sampling time can be set for up to 15 minutes or programmed for a long time collection period of up to 6 hours. After collection, the cone is capped and then sent to the lab for analysis. The collected sample is compatible with any type of molecular downstream application such as PCR, immunoassay, etc.
Notes:
In use with the French military.
