A cyclone includes a hollow cylindrical upper portion and a hollow conical lower portion having an inclined wall and a base wall. The base wall and the inclined wall are continuous contact with each other, and the inclined wall of the hollow conical lower portion is in continuous contact with an outer wall of the hollow cylindrical upper portion. A total cyclone height is from about 10 to about 30 millimeters, and a ratio of the total cyclone height to an inner diameter of the hollow cylindrical upper portion is from about 0.7 to about 1.3. An angle between an inner surface of the base wall and an inner surface of the inclined wall is from about 110 to about 130 degrees.

Cyclone and methods of manufacture thereof

A detector for detecting an agent within an aerosol is provided. The detector may include a liquid feeder configured to generate a droplet comprised of an assay reagent. The detector may further include an aerosol focuser configured to capture and focus the aerosol such that the aerosol is configured to be encapsulated within the droplet in order to cause the assay reagent to react in the droplet. The detector may even further include an interrogator configured to interrogate the droplet in order to detect the agent within the aerosol.
