  • Page 9: Operating Principle

    ® ESCRIPTION OF ORIOLIS µ AMPLER ® Coriolis µ 2.5 Operating principle ® Coriolis patented technology is highly innovative: based on a cyclone type operation, it concentrates airborne biological particles into a liquid sample. Air is first aspirated into the cone (pre-filled with collection liquid) in a whirling motion to form a vortex. Particles are pulled against the wall due to centrifugal force and separated from air to be concentrated in the liquid.
