Indoor environment control with Coriolis® microbial air sampler

Associated products

The observatory of Indoor Air Quality was created in 2001 to answer a need to have more knowledge of airborne micro-organisms in public and private indoor environments.
To control houses, offices, schools, museums and transports, the Coriolis® µ air sampler is adapted and will give more information than the traditional method based on micro-organisms cultivability.

Several audits have been realised in offices or houses and have led the emphasis on specific contamination by pollens, molds or specific pathogenssuch as Sachybotrys Chartarum for example; most of the time the traditional methods did not allow to detect such contaminants and only the Coriolis coupled with a specific method (ELISA, microscopic observation, PCR…) did; thus corrective actions and frequent controls can be implemented to avoid new problems.

Also legionella cases in hotel due to “water screen” have already happened and Coriolis µ is totally adapted for such application.

The airborne transmission is the principal factor on the disease spread between farms. Several studies have been led to evaluate causes and consequences of airborne contaminations in porcine herds, poultries, and slaughterhouses.

The spread of expending is generally due to the confinement building: closely located animals units, a lake of renewal air. The Coriolis µ is the solution for an early detection of bacteria and viruses like Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus (PRRSV), Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae, H1N1 virus, endotoxines.
