Little is known about the dynamics of aerosol transmission of respiratory viruses. Current aerosol sampling methods make it difficult to collect viable bioaerosols due to the mechanical stresses faced during the collection process. Dr. Chang-Yu Wu’s team has demonstrated that they can successfully collect a variety of human respiratory viruses; including influenza H1N1 viruses, H3N2 viruses and influenza B viruses, using condensational growth technology sampling into liquid. We can’t wait to see what they do next with our collection technology!
