Detection of Aspergillus Fumigatus in Composting Facilities with qPCR Analysis

9 Nov 2017

This study focused on the detection of the fungus Aspergillus fumigatus considered as an indicator organism. In addition, it presents a potential health risk to certain high-risk individuals. Bioaerosol sampling was done with the Coriolis®µ air sampler on site.

Coriolis µ - Air Sampler

Bertin Technologies

The Coriolis Micro portable biological air sampler is a standard for testing air quality. Both indoors and outdoors, it’s the most efficient biological air sampler: It can take just 10 minutes to collect airborne particles using its cyclonic technology paired with a high suction rate. By generating samples in the fluid phase, Coriolis µ is compatible with rapid microbiological analysis methods.
