Reuter Centrifugal Air Sampler: Measurement of Effective Airflow Rate and Collection Efficiency

J M Macher ¹, M W First ¹

PMCID: PMC242569 PMID: 6349529

Abstract

Incorrect calculation of effective air sampling rate and disregard of differences in collection efficiency among samplers can lead to false conclusions about the usefulness of samplers for measuring concentrations of airborne microorganisms.
