Abstract:
An air sampling device is provided. The air sampling device has a housing with an air inlet and an air outlet, an air pump in gaseous communication with the air inlet and air outlet, and a carrier having a first face and a second opposing face. The carrier includes a plurality of receptacles disposed in a circumferential pattern and configured to receive a sample tube. The device includes a first plate disposed adjacent to and substantially covering the first face of the carrier, wherein the first plate comprises a first sample opening. The device includes a second plate disposed adjacent to and substantially covering the second face of the carrier. The second plate comprises a second sample opening that is circumferentially aligned with the first sample opening to define a circumferential sample position. The device intermittently indexes a receptacle of the carrier into the circumferential sample position. The device includes a plurality of seals to form an air-tight seal in the receptacles in the circumferential sample position.
