RODUCT VERVIEW This section contains a product description of the InnovaPrep ACD-200 Bobcat™ Dry Filter Air Sampler and a brief look at its applications. 1.1 P RODUCT ESCRIPTION The InnovaPrep ACD-200 Bobcat, shown in Figure 1.1, is a lightweight, portable, dry filter air sampler with a unique patented rapid filter elution system.
PERATION The InnovaPrep ACD-200 Bobcat uses an electret filter to capture particles onto the surface of polymer fibers in the filter. A novel Wet Foam Elution™ process is then employed to wash the particles off of the fiber surfaces into very small liquid volumes.
These micro-bubbles increase the volume of the fluid six-fold or more as it passes through the filter. The foam immediately collapses back into a liquid and is ready for sample processing and analysis.
