Spot Sampling Aboard the RV Sally Ride

Waves breaking and bubbles popping at the Earth’s surface eject seawater droplets into the atmosphere 10’s of nanometers to 100’s of micrometers in diameter, called sea spray aerosol (SSA).  These aerosols are tiny subsamples of the ocean’s surface, and the ocean has high numbers of heterotrophic bacteria,more than a million...

What if there was a way to collect viable aerosol viruses?

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...

The Spot Sampler™ Aerosol Particle Collector takes on Brazil

Between the summers of 2016 and 2017, Dr. Jim Smith and his students from the University of California, Irvine set off to Brazil with a goal in mind to characterize the physical and chemical properties of ultrafine particles found in the Amazon Basin. Ultrafine particles were sampled, using the Sequential...
