Abstract:Due to the lack of standards and detection technical specifications for Andersen six-level impact microbial samplers, an evaluation method based on the capture efficiency curve for the aerodynamic particle size at a sampling physical efficiency of 50% (Da50) was proposed, and the detection and theoretical calculation of Da50 as well as its influencing factors were analyzed. Five domestic brands of Andersen samplers were tested, and it was found that the measurement results of different manufacturers' products varied significantly, the first or multi-level capture efficiency curves of multiple products corresponded to Da50 outside the particle size range. Research has found that the difference in sampler performance is not caused by insufficient aperture processing accuracy. The research results indicate that the higher the culture medium, the smaller the obtained Da50, under the same height of the culture medium, the ideal distance between layers is about 10mm. Therefore, the impact height is an important factor affecting the performance of Andersen six-level impact microbial samplers.
