How does an IOM sampler work?
The patented IOM Sampler houses a reusable 25 mm filter cassette that holds a specified filter for the collection of inhalable particles. When attached to a personal sampling pump operating at 2 L/min and clipped near a worker’s breathing zone, the IOM effectively traps particles up to 100 µm in aerodynamic diameter.
What does IOM sampler stand for?
Jesse L. Finney. 1 The IOM Sampler is a patented sampling cassette that houses a 25-mm reusable filter. It was developed by J.H. Vincent and D. Mark at the Institute of Occupational Medicine (IOM) in Scotland.
What is an IOM sampling head?
The IOM Personal Inhalable Sampler is a conductive plastic sampling head that houses a reusable 25-mm filter cassette with specified filter for the collection of inhalable airborne particles.
What is gravimetric sampling?
Gravimetric methods of sampling and analysis are commonly used to measure quantities of airborne particulate matter collected from workplace atmospheres. Subsequent weighing of the total collected particulate matter plus filter yields the weight of the sampled aerosol by difference.
What is an IOM cassette?
The IOM Personal Inhalable Sampler is a conductive plastic sampling head that houses a reusable 25-mm filter cassette with specified filter for the collection of inhalable airborne particles. The cassette can be cleaned, reloaded with a new filter, and reused.

What is a cyclone sampler?
A new technique developed for the collection of airborne particles using a small reverse-flow cyclone. Particles are collected into a 1.5 ml eppendorf vial through a smooth vortex air flow of 16.6 l/min. Gentle capture of sample and capable of sterile handling.
What is gravimetric air sampling?
Gravimetric air sampling is thought to be the most accurate method of determining particulate mass concentration, as they are capable of sampling at the very lowest detection limits. A sample is taken by drawing a measured volume of air through a collection substrate, which is then sent for further analysis.
