Multiple UV wavelength excitation and fluorescence of bioaerosols

Abstract: A two-wavelength laser-induced fluorescence technique is described for detecting and classifying biological aerosols. Single aerosols, smaller than 10 mm, are interrogated with 266 nm and 355 nm laser pulses separated in time by 400 ns. Fluorescence signals excited by these pulses are detected in three broad spectral bands centered at 350 nm, 450 nm and 550 nm. The results indicate that bacterial spores, vegetative bacterial cells and proteins can be differentiated based on the two wavelength excitation approa… Show more

“…Кроме того, для биоаэрозолей, относящихся к различным таксономическим группам [2], проявляются различия в спектральных характеристиках: форме, положению максимума, величине флуоресценции [9][10][11], что позволяет проводить их идентификацию [12].…”

“…6 Examples of commonly used techniques in biodetection are, e.g., Laser Induced Fluorescence (LIF), [7][8][9] Flame Emission Spectroscopy (FES), 10 Raman spectroscopy, 11,12 and Spark or Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (SIBS/ LIBS), 9,[13][14][15] to mention a few. However, to further reduce the false positive/negative rates in alarm algorithms based on data acquired by the optical techniques mentioned above, some gain can be expected by optimizing which variables to monitor.…”
