1.0 PRODUCT INTRODUCTION AND DESCRIPTION
The BioCapture® 650 portable air sampler collects particles into a buffer solution, maximizing the viability of airborne microorganisms and enabling users to quickly collect samples for subsequent analysis.
The collector uses patented rotating impeller arm technology to impact airborne particles, and then automatically wash the surface with a fluid. Manifold geometries that allow the air to be exhausted separately from the particle laden liquid have been optimized for minimum evaporation and maximum flow rate. The motor and control systems have been optimized for high impeller revolution rate and low power consumption while maintaining excellent reliability.
The BioCapture is deployment ready out of the box. The disposable fluidics cartridge, and integrated pumps, and control logic eliminate sample preparation. Users simply press a button to initiate the sampling process. The collected sample may be used with various detection methods including PCR, hand-held assays, and traditional culturing.
Time savings is also realized in the decontamination process. Upon completion of the sampling mission, the disposable BioCapture cartridge eliminates carry-over contamination risks. There is no possibility of introducing contaminants from a prior mission into a future sample when the entire mechanism is replaced. Users wipe the instrument with a bleach solution, air dry, replace the cartridge, and shelve for future use.

8.0 SAMPLE COLLECTION
Airborne particles are drawn through the air intake into the Collection Cartridge during SAMPLE COLLECTION. The user has a choice of three sampling times—5, 15 and 30 minutes. A 60 minutesampling time is also available when all four MODE LEDs are illuminated. Collected particles are automatically rinsed from the cartridge into the Sample Vial when 02:30 is left in the cycle.Approximately 2-7 mL of sample fluid will remain in the vial for subsequent analysis.
WARNING: The unit may emit aerosols and small water droplets from the air exhaust during sample collection due to the rapid rotations of the motor and pumps. This is expected and is non-hazardous.
Step 1: Press and release the Mode Button until the LED above the desired sampling time illuminates green. Each LED will illuminate once then all four LEDs will illuminate to indicate the 60 minute sampling time before cycling through again. The LCD will display the selected time.
WARNING: If the battery level is too low to complete the time selected, the Mode LED will turn red,the LCD will display “Insuff Battery”, and the Start/Stop LED will flash red. Replace the battery or select a shorter sampling time to proceed.
Step 2: Press and release the Start/Stop Button. The Start/Stop LED will blink green. The motor, fan and pump will turn on and the LCD will display “Initiating…” for 10 seconds.
A pre-sampling diagnostic cycle verifies the power level, cartridge installation and motor function before sampling. The LCD will display a diagnostic message if the unit does not pass the initial diagnostics (Section 16.0 TROUBLESHOOTING).
The unit automatically begins sampling after the pre-sampling diagnostics are complete. The Start/Stop LED will blink green; the LCD will display “Sampling…” and count down the collection time remaining.
Particles will be rinsed from the cartridge with 02:30 remaining. At 00:00, the LCD will change to “Recovery…” the Start/Stop LED will blink rapidly; the time will change to 01:19 and begin a new count down.
SAMPLE COLLECTION is complete when the LCD changes to “Sample In Vial” and the Start/Stop LED remains solid green. The Dispense LED will illuminate solid green. The following options are now available:
• Use a test strip (Section 9.0 TEST STRIP CYCLE)

Rev #1
15
WARNING: Do not remove the cartridge before performing the TEST STRIP CYCLE.
• Remove the cartridge to access the Sample Vial for sample analysis (Section 10.0 COLLECTION CARTRIDGE REMOVAL)
• Replace the cartridge to perform another SAMPLE COLLECTION
9.0 TEST STRIP CYCLE
The BioCapture sample fluid is compatible for use with hand-held assays. The unit has also been designed with a Test Strip Port to accommodate commercially available strips for automated dispense. Contact Customer Support for a list of test strip manufacturers.
CAUTION: Leave the Collection Cartridge in place following SAMPLE COLLECTION to perform this cycle. Visually confirm the Sample Vial is at least half-full before dispensing. If the vial is less than half-full it may be possible to drain the sample vial such that there is not enough sample remaining in the vial for laboratory analysis.
During the TEST STRIP CYCLE fluid lines are first primed. After the lines are primed, a test strip is inserted into the Test Strip Port located on the side of the Collection Cartridge. Sample fluid is then drawn from the Sample Vial and deposited directly onto the strip for in-field analysis. Up to eight (8) test strips may be tested. Always use new, unwrapped test strips and refer to the test strip manufacturer’s instructions when performing this cycle.
NOTE: Sample fluid will remain in the lines after priming. This fluid is not recoverable back to the vial.
Finish SAMPLE COLLECTION (Section 8.0) before starting. Both the Start/Stop LED and the Dispense LED will be illuminated green and the LCD will display “Sample In Vial”.
NOTE: If the Sample Collection is stopped mid-cycle the LCD will display “Partial Sample” and the Start/Stop LED will blink alternately green then red.
Step 1: Press and release the Dispense Button. The Dispense LED and the Start/Stop LEDs will remain green, the LCD will display “Flushing…”, the pump will turn on and the timer will count down from 00:35. When flushing is complete the LED will begin to blink green slowly and the LCD will change to “Ready” and the pump will turn off.
WARNING: Do not insert the test strip until priming is complete and the LCD displays “Ready”. Inserting the test strip before this point will result in the test strip overflowing.
