With Rapid Filter Elution

The Bobcat is a lightweight, portable, dry filter air sampler with a unique wet elution system. It is ideally suited for the collection of bio-aerosols and particulate matter; including sub-micronsized particles, airborne molecular contamination, and particulates. This system has been developed to address a broad range of air sampling requirements and is currently being tested – using simulated airborne agents – at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory.
