Investigation and Optimization of Miniature Fan-Based Impactors

Abstract

Collectors are an important component of a biodetection system to concentrate biological particles for detection. There is a growing need for a small and low power option to interface with increasingly smaller biosensors. This briefing discusses development of a minature fan-based impactor that can be used as a low power, small, disposable biocollector. A low cost biotrigger is possible with fan coupled to inexpensive light source and detector.
