Air Quality Monitoring  

Ensure Safer Environments: Advanced Solutions for Monitoring Air Quality and Infection Control in Indoor and Outdoor Environments 

Air quality directly impacts human health, making monitoring airborne pollutants and pathogens a top priority. Our air quality monitoring solutions offer high-efficiency concentration and detection of airborne particles, pollutants, and bioaerosols in any setting—from urban areas to healthcare facilities. Whether for urban environments, industrial sites, or healthcare facilities, our technology provides the data needed to assess air quality and implement effective control measures. By enabling rapid monitoring of air quality and potential healthcare-associated infections (HAIs), our solutions empower you to implement effective control measures, safeguarding both patients and the broader community.

applications & uses

Scientific Information
An AirPrep™ sampler was used to collect samples from various areas of a hospital, including patient rooms in a COVID-19 ward during the pandemic and detecting a vast number of bacterial species. “This efficient sampling method improves understanding of hospital air quality, potential transmission routes, and infection control measures. Ultimately, it contributes to enhanced safety for both patients and staff in healthcare settings.”
Scientific Information
"Our results show AirPrep Bobcat and its sister product, The AirPrep Cub, provide affordable and feasible method for collection air to use in both biological assays and sequencing."
Scientific Information
The Bobcat sampler effectively collected 12 pathogenic bioaerosols near open wastewater canals in urban locations, highlighting the risks and the need for robust monitoring and mitigation strategies to protect public health.
