AirPrep™ Bobcat Portable Dry Filter Air Sampler

The AirPrep™ Bobcat Air Sampler is a lightweight, high flow (200 LPM), and portable dry filter air sampler originally designed for tactical military applications. The rugged design features a built-in tripod and an advanced mass flow sensor, ensuring consistent sampling rates and highly efficient collection for particle sizes ranging from 0.01 μm to 10+ μm, outperforming traditional collection methods.
The Bobcat Air Sampler seamlessly integrates within the broader AirPrep™ Sampler System, utilizing specialized consumables for Wet Foam Elution™, which enables rapid and efficient particle recovery from the air filter into a liquid format. This streamlined approach provides samples that are immediately ready for a wide range of downstream applications, eliminating the need for culture and delivering faster, more actionable insights. This complete system approach maximizes sample collection and elution performance for high-efficiency sampling and reliable results. Together, the Bobcat and AirPrep™ consumables provide a comprehensive solution for advanced bioaerosol detection and analysis in various environments.

Trusted by the U.S. Military since 2012, the AirPrep Bobcat Sampling System combines rugged durability, high-flow dry electret filter collection, and a rapid sample recovery system. Designed for versatility, it is suitable for a wide range of air sampling tasks - from hygiene monitoring in cleanrooms to disease monitoring in pig barns - and everything in between.

Efficient:
· High-Efficiency Particle Capture: Efficiently captures micron and submicron particles, optimized for 0.01 μm to 10.0 μm, outperforming traditional culture media methods and wet cyclonic collectors. 
· Flow Sensing: Adjusts to maintain sampling rate as filters become loaded.
· Variable Run Modes: Allows balancing of sample duration and battery conservation. 
· Dry Filter Collection: No liquids in the collector enable use in extreme temperatures and long run times. 
· Omni-directional Aerosol Inlet: Ensures comprehensive sampling from all directions. 

Fast:
· High Flow Rates: Capable of flow rates up to 200 LPM for efficient sampling. 
· Rapid Particle Elution: Eluting captured particles from the filter takes only seconds with the Rapid Filter Elution Kit. 

Rugged and Portable Design: Durable construction ensures reliability in challenging environments and it is lightweight, only 3.5 kg.
