Coriolis µ - Air Sampler
The Coriolis Micro portable biological air sampler is a standard for testing air quality. Both indoors and outdoors, it’s the most efficient biological air sampler: It can take just 10 minutes to collect airborne particles using its cyclonic technology paired with a high suction rate. By generating samples in the fluid phase, Coriolis µ is compatible with rapid microbiological analysis methods.
metagenomics of bioaerosols on supraglacial environments in polar and alpine areas
We have been using the Coriolis µ in alpine and polar environments to collect bioaerosols. The handling is fantastic and easy, however, in cold environments (Bertin does not promise any other) the sampling procedure becomes tricky due to freezing of the collecting solution. Also, in dry conditions, the collecting solution evaporates very quickly. There would be an option to resupply the fluid, however, it is not trivial to do that in the field. One needs to be creative to make this instrument applicable in cold conditions. The battery life is not that great and the costs for an extra battery are immense.

Analyze viruses in environmental samples
Coriolis micro air sampler has been a useful tool for the detection of viruses in aerosol samples, including aerosols from WWTP and swine farm scenarios. It is easy to use, and portable to take anywhere.

laboratory air quality measurements
Excellent product for air microbiological analysis. It enables microbial analysis very quickly without growing/culturing. So this makes us proceed with our work quickly and without stopping the work for long periods. Moreover, we will be able to implement quick actions in air-contaminated situations without risking our lives.

Dental office
In my opinion, this is the best instrument for air decontamination. I bought it because my profession (dental surgeon) generates a lot of droplets and, therefore, a great risk of contagion.

Analyze microbial communities in environmental samples
We ordered the long-time option of the Coriolis. It comes nicely packed. However, the liquid supply tubing was blocked before the first usage. fortunately we had spare tubing to replace it. Before purchasing the device we had a nice in-house presentation of the different Coriolis devices, provided by Bertin. The buttons on top of the device are a bit hard to press. Overall, the handling is really intuitive and easy. It would be nice to have a long-term monitoring system where the Coriolis is fixed to its stand instead of just putting it on top of the 'long-term measuring table'.
