Bioaerosol monitoring by integrating DC impedance microfluidic cytometer with wet-cyclone air sampler.

The recent outbreak of COVID-19 has highlighted the seriousness of airborne diseases and the need for a proper pathogen detection system. Compared to the ample amount of research on biological detection, work on integrated devices for air monitoring is rare. In this work, we integrated a wet-cyclone air sampler and a DC impedance microfluidic cytometer to build a cyclone-cytometer integrated air monitor (CCAM).
