ORGANISM APPLICATOR:

An atomizing humidifier spray nozzle mounted at the center of the test duct intake was used to distribute the organism into the air stream. The application flow rate was 0.45 gallons per hour.

UV DEVICE:

A Field Controls UV-Aire air purifier model UV-18 was mounted onto the center of the side of the test duct 6 feet from the exit end of the chamber. The lamp is a UVC germicidal lamp (non ozone producing) 18 inches long with a UV output rating of 73 μW/cm2 at 1 meter from the lamp.

AIR SAMPLING METHOD:

An Andersen N6 single stage “bioaerosal” sampler was used to take the air samples and distribute the sampled air onto agar medium. The test medium was Tryptic Soy Agar from PathCon, Inc. The air sampling pump airflow rate was 1 CFM.

The Anderson sampler method requires corrections to the actual colony counts on the plates. This provides a more accurate measure of the bacteria per cubic foot of the sample air. In the following tables, the Serratia marcescens Positive Hole Count values are the actual plate counts and the Corrected Particle Count values are corrected value based on Anderson correction tables.
