Bioaerosol sampling: sampling mechanisms, bioefficiency and field studies 2016-04-01 .txt text/plain 10280 497 44 Numerous successful studies are described that point to best practice in bioaerosol sampling, from the use of small personal samplers to monitor workers' pathogen exposure through to large static samplers collecting airborne microbes in various healthcare settings. 11, 53 If the target microbe is unknown and a general assessment of bioaerosol particles present in an environment is sought, then the use of different types of sampling devices will mitigate the limitations of individual samplers, making a comprehensive study more likely. Correlation between active and passive sampling was also described during a study comparing different ventilation regimes in OTs. 12 Using a Surface Air System sampler (SAS, International Pbi, Milan, Italy) operating at 180 L/min and settle plates, both with tryptic soy agar, the study showed that unidirectional airflows within OTs did not guarantee low counts of airborne bacteria.
