Test principle:
Prepare a certain concentration of bacterial suspension, and generate specific aerosols through the aerosol generator (aerosol flow rate 2200±500CFE, average particle diameter should be ±0.3μm, and the geometric standard deviation of aerosol distribution should not exceed 1.5), and then Pass through the sample to be tested at a certain flow rate, collect bacteria in the aerosol that penetrates the sample, and count the bacteria after incubation to calculate the filtration efficiency of the sample for bacteria.
 
Test preparation:
Before the test, the samples should be pretreated for at least 4h in an environment of 21±5°C and a relative humidity of 85±5%. And use Staphylococcus aureus ATCC6538 to inoculate an appropriate amount of tryptic soy broth, shaking culture at 37±2℃ for 24h. Then the above culture was diluted to 5×10 5 CFU/ml with 1.5% peptone.
 
Test steps:
The test system does not put samples, the airflow of the sampler is controlled at 28.3L/min, the time to deliver the suspension to the sprayer is set to 1min, the air pressure and sampler running time are set to 2min, and bacterial aerosol is collected as a positive quality control.
After the positive quality control test is completed, install the test sample in the upper fixture of the sampler with the tested surface facing up, and perform sampling according to the procedure in 1).
Collect the air sample in the aerosol room for 2 minutes as a negative control.
The above process can be carried out simultaneously through a dual channel system.
Place the sampled agar plate at 37±2°C for 48h, count the positive wells of the bacterial particle aerosol forming unit, and use the conversion table to convert the number of possible impact particles.
