It's a trap! An approachable guide to constructing and using rotating-arm air samplers.
Plant Disease 2024 March 28
An increasing number of researchers are looking to understand the factors affecting microbial dispersion but are often limited by the costs of commercially available air samplers. Some have reduced these costs by designing self-made versions, however there are no published sampler designs and there is limited information provided on the actual construction process. Lack of appropriate reference material limits the use of these self-made samplers by many researchers. This manuscript provides a guide to designing and constructing rotating-arm impaction air samplers by covering 1) environmental considerations; 2) construction materials and equipment; 3) the construction process; and 4) air sampler deployment. Information regarding how to calculate rotational velocity, motor speed, power supply requirements, and troubleshoot common issues is presented in an approachable format for individuals without experience in electronics or machining. While many of the components discussed in this guide may change in their availability or be updated over time, this document is intended to serve as a "builder's guide" for future research into air sampling technology for phytopathology research.
