Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A collection unit ( 80 )includes: a collection carrier cartridge ( 82 ) formed, at its center, with a through hole ( 82 b 3 ) into which a nozzle for supplying hot water or ATP reagent is inserted including a carrier filling dish ( 82 b ), on an outer circumference of the through hole ( 82 b 3 ), to be filled with a collection carrier ( 90 ) for collecting floating bacteria in the air, and an upper lid ( 82 a ) on which the carrier filling dish ( 82 b ) is placed, formed with a protrusion to be inserted through the through hole ( 82 b 3 ); an impactor nozzle head ( 86 ) covering a surface of the collection carrier ( 90 ) and has a plurality of nozzle holes ( 87 ) facing the collection carrier ( 90 ) surface; and a fan ( 84 ) introducing air to the collection carrier surface through the nozzle holes ( 87 ). A velocity of the air passing through the nozzle holes ( 87 ) is 40 m/s to 50 m/s.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A collection unit comprising: a collection carrier cartridge including a carrier filling dish, provided with an inner bulkhead wall around a through hole at a center of a main plate thereof and an outer bulkhead wall around an outer portion of the main plate, where the carrier filling dish is fillable with a collection carrier between the inner and outer bulkhead walls for collecting bacteria floating in air, and an upper lid on which the carrier fil…
