Homeland Security Applications

SASS 2300

A highly-efficient, portable multi-stage wetted-wall cyclone sampler that extracts particulates and water-soluble chemical vapors from air and transfers them to a liquid phase for later detection and analysis. This user-friendly sampler has been field-tested and used in subway systems, public health facilities, nuclear power plants, corporate mail rooms and poultry ranches. It has been proven to possess excellent collection properties.

The SASS 2300 is the only wet-type air sampler shown to efficiently collect virus-sized particles, and has been successfully used to detect the airborne viral pathogens that cause exotic Newcastle disease and hoof-and-mouth disease*, as well as some strains of avian flu virus. Furthermore, it was the only portable sampler technology to receive US Department of Homeland Security Certification under the US Safety Act of 2002.
