Rapid Quantification of Viable Fungi in Hospital Environments using solid-phase cytometry
19 Nov 2017Monitoring enviromental fungal contamination in hospitals is paramount for outbreak investigations or during building construction and renovation work. This application note assesses Solid-Phase Cytometry systems and Coriolis µ air sampling against conventional culture methods, revealing a rapid monitoring response and increased detection level that could be used for early warning systems in hospitals to assess risk of infection in wards with immunosuppressed patients.

Coriolis µ - Air Sampler
Bertin TechnologiesThe 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.
