Micro-well Confirmatory Sampler

The Micro-well Confirmatory Sampler is a compact, low-cost aerosol sampling device engineered for rapid deployment in remote or hazardous locations. Developed initially to meet Department of Defense requirements, the system captures airborne biological and chemical agents in micro-wells for high-fidelity, post-retrieval laboratory analysis. It supports both manual and autonomous operations, including UAV-based triggering and real-time sensor-based activation.

• Includes a metal or polymer-based micro-well collector, miniature pump, control board, and battery, fully integrated into a lightweight housing with custom mounts
• Compatible with bioaerosols and chemical aerosols collection in the 0.3-10 micron size range
• Miniature well dimensions result in concentrated analyte volume.
• Supports both manual activation and remote triggering, enabling flexible deployment strategies.
• Designed as a wearable device or for use in autonomous remote sampling missions.
• Fully compatible with thermal desorption and mass spectrometry workflows
• Compatible with laboratory biological analysis techniques

• UAV-based remote air sampling for hazardous or hard-to-reach locations
• Field confirmation of airborne chemical threats or pollutants
• Emergency response and perimeter surveillance
• Secondary validation in layered monitoring networks
