The TE-BC251-15 Backpack provides a secure, hands-free solution for wearable bioaerosol sampling with the TE-BC251 NIOSH Bioaerosol Cyclone. This purpose-built carrying system positions the bioaerosol cyclone at optimal lapel height while accommodating most small form-factor personal air sampling pumps in a comfortable backpack configuration.
Designed for Professional Field Work
The backpack's ergonomic design enables extended sampling periods without fatigue, making it ideal for occupational health assessments, environmental monitoring, and research applications where mobility is essential. The sampler can be operated with commercially-available personal air sampling pumps, and this backpack accommodates the most common pump models used for bioaerosol collection.
Complete Mounting Hardware
Each TE-BC251-15 Backpack includes all necessary fittings, brackets, and mounting hardware required to securely attach a TE-BC251 cyclone. The included components ensure proper alignment and stability during sampling operations, preventing movement that could affect collection efficiency.
Compatibility
Specifically designed for use with:
- TE-BC251 NIOSH Bioaerosol Cyclone
- Most small form-factor personal air sampling pumps (3.5 L/min operating flow rate)
- Standard sampling tube assemblies and collection vessels
Applications
The TE-BC251-15 Backpack enables wearable sampling for:
- Personal exposure assessment in healthcare facilities
- Occupational safety monitoring for airborne biological contaminants
- Environmental research requiring mobile sampling platforms
- Collection of airborne influenza virus in healthcare facilities and other respiratory pathogen studies
- ACGIH/ISO compliant respirable particle sampling at the standard 3.5 L/min flow rate
This backpack system transforms the TE-BC251 cyclone into a truly portable bioaerosol sampling platform, essential for applications where stationary sampling is not feasible or when personal exposure assessment requires mobility throughout the sampling period.
