Abstract

A real-time system, Bio-Aerosol Mass Spectrometry (BAMS), for detection of biological aerosols was investigated. The BAMS system samples particles directly out of ambient air and analyzes them without any sample preparation. A particle entering the system encounters two scattering laser beams that measure the velocity of the particle before it reaches the ion source region of mass spectrometer. The online data analysis system recognizes characteristic peaks in the two mass spectra obtained for a single particle and can thus classify the particle.
