Abstract
An air-borne pathogen detection device comprises: a testing chamber in which a sensor arrangement is located, a conduit linking an air inlet and the testing chamber so an incoming air is directed toward the sensor arrangement, a return conduit to direct outgoing air toward an air outlet. An optical or electrical quantity across the sensor arrangement varies in dependence of a quantity of airborne pathogens captured in the sensor arrangement. The device comprises or is adapted for connection with a processing means to estimate a quantity of pathogen in the incoming air.
Claims22
An air-borne pathogen detection device, the device comprising:
- a testing chamber in which a sensor arrangement is located,
- a conduit linking an air inlet and the testing chamber so an incoming air is directed toward the sensor arrangement,
- a return conduit to direct outgoing air toward an air outlet, the return conduit being separate from the conduit for the incoming air;
- wherein an electrical quantity across the sensor arrangement varies in dependence of a quantity of airborne pathogens captured in the sensor arrangement;
- and
- a processing means to estimate a quantity of pathogen in the incoming air.
