[App Note] Metagenomic analysis of soil bacteria in atmospheric aerosols using Coriolis

01 Jun 2023

Atmospheric boundary level (ABL) is the lowest part of the atmosphere that is highly influenced by its contact with the surface of the planet. The diverse microorganisms found in the ABL are continuously aerosolized and dispersed from surface sources. Knowledge of microbial diversity in the ABL is crucial as it can be potentially dangerous for […]

[Application note] Guidelines for the detection of bacterial DNA in the air with Coriolis air sampler

02 Nov 2022

The composition and concentration of bioaerosols in the air is a critical parameter for the welfare of animals and humans. Monitoring bioaerosols by air sampling is one of the most efficient methods available. Nonetheless, the detection of DNA from bioaerosols can be challenging without the appropriate tools and the optimization of sampling and detection protocols. […]

A new approach to avian influenza biosecurity: Clamping down on transmission

08 Nov 2021

SelectScience spoke with Prof. Jean-Luc Gu�rin, Veterinary School of Toulouse, about his research into a new combinatory approach to avian biosecurity, with an emphasis on early detection where our Coriolis Air Samplers have been used. Following the first recorded emergence in 1996, Avian influenza Type A outbreaks have periodically occurred across the globe, infecting wild […]
