  • Device for collecting and separating particles and microorganisms present in ambient air
    Patent number: 8356524
    Abstract: A device for collecting and separating particles and microorganisms present in ambient air, the device comprising suction means for sucking air into a removable centrifuging chamber (10) having an air inlet and outlet and forming a receptacle for transporting a liquid sample containing the collected particles and microorganisms, said enclosure (10) being selected from a set of enclosures having different diameters and suitable for enabling the same suction means to take samples at suction rates lying in the range about 100 liters per minute to about 2000 liters per minute.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 30, 2007
    Date of Patent: January 22, 2013
    Assignee: Bertin Technologies
    Inventors: Amandine Verdier, Emmanuelle Sorel, Bruno Vallayer, Denis Rebuffat
  • Apparatus for grinding biological samples
    Patent number: 7954741
    Abstract: Apparatus for grinding biological samples contained in tubes (12) carried by a turntable (10) driven with oscillating motion, the zone in which the tubes (12) oscillate being surrounded by cooling means (30) enabling the samples in the tubes (12) to be maintained at a desired low temperature, e.g. 4° C., while they are being ground.

  • Device for collecting and separating particles and microorganisms present in ambient air
    Patent number: 7452394
    Abstract: A device for collecting particles and microorganisms present in ambient air, the device comprising means for sucking air into a small volume enclosure in which the particles and microorganisms are separated from the sucked-in air by centrifuging, the device being portable, self-contained, and capable of being handled in one hand only, e.g. by means of a handle associated with the air suction means.
