Aspergillus Detection in Healthcare Establishments

Bertin Technologies
25 Sept 2017

The monitoring of air contamination in healthcare establishments helps the prevention and the decrease of nosocomial infections. Airborne spores of pathogens microorganisms like Aspergillus fumigatus can be responsible for severe diseases such as invasive aspergillosis. This note looks at using representative samples of surrounding air and cyclonic technology to achieve sensitive results in a shorter time.

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.

Environmental Monitoring and TestingEnvironmental monitoring and testing uses handheld portable analyzers, kits, spectrometers or chromatography systems for air, water, soil, food and other sample testing. Useful features of analyzers such as BOD and COD include portability, easy calibration, automation and sensitivity.  Environmental test kits for pH, water, moisture, etc, should be accurate, sensitive, reliable, fast and easy to use.RegulatoryPharmaceutical regulations impact on all areas of drug development, manufacture and control and supply. Services are provided from the early stages of drug development and clinical trials through to dossier submission, approval and marketing. Regulatory also includes submission of analytical studies from the pharmaceutical product and safety. Air SamplingAir sampling is described as the technique used to capture air for the subsequent purpose of analyzing, typically by thermal desorption, the presence of trace particulates, such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs).Quality ControlQuality control is needed in all production processes. Quality control is a monitoring procedure or set of procedures that are put in place to ensure that a manufactured product adheres to a defined set of quality criteria. qPCRQuantitative PCR (qPCR) is a molecular biology technique used to amplify and measure the amount of a specific DNA or RNA target. It plays a crucial role in gene expression analysis, pathogen detection, and quantifying DNA or RNA in various applications. Real-time PCR provides precise, quantitative results and is widely used in research, diagnostics, and clinical studies. Browse our peer-reviewed product directory to find the best qPCR solutions; compare products, check reviews, and get pricing directly from manufacturers.Contamination PreventionContamination prevention aims to control and minimize the risk of contamination during experiments. Biological safety cabinets and sterilization equipment are examples of technologies used to prevent contamination.
