BFE Bio-Kit
Bioaerosol Sampling System
Bioaerosol
Bioaerosol is a component of Particulate Matter (PM) in the atmosphere and consists of airborne particles that have a
biological origin.
Bioaerosol is a mix of:
- Microorganisms (viruses, bacteria, fungi and their spores, algae and protozoa);
- Pollen;
- Fragments of animals, insects, plants;
- Derived substances (toxins and allergenes) produced by any living species.
Bioaerosol study involves a lot of application fields (allergology, industrial aerobiology, cultural heritage, bioclimatology, physics and chemistry of the atmosphere, ecology, epidemiology, biological pollution, microbiology, plant pathology, biological terrorism, indoor/outdoor air quality).
EN 14683 describes testing methods for medical facial masks intended to limit the transmission of infectious agents between patients and clinical staff during surgeries and other medical contexts with similar requirements.

BFE Kit Line - EN14683 (Annex B)
BFE Bio Kit, allows to be in compliance with all the requests for BFE % efficiency test (Bacterial filtration efficiency) and breathability test (Pa/cm2). It is also done for ASTM F2101 and EN 9237 for measuring the permeability of fabrics to air and is applicable to most types of fabrics, including industrial fabrics for technical purposes, nonwovens and made-up textile articles that are permeable to air.
These operating phases can be repeated more time. The system design and material composition allow all service and maintenance operations required for every sampling batch.
- Fill in the aerosol generator with the bacteria suspension to nebulize;
- Set up the multi stage cascade impactor and connect the sampling pipe;
- Connect the atomization chamber to the impactor;
- Connect the condenser at the impactor output suction line;
- Connect the output of the condenser to the sampler, setting a 28,3 l/min flow;
