Abstract
A carrier supporting multiple filters is inserted jointly with the filters into an air sampler. The carrier includes an indexing structure to ensure correct positioning within the air sampler. A memory device physically associated with the carrier stores sample collection data provided by the air sampler. The stored data can be read by a read/write station at a lab, and transmitted to a processor. The processor also receives a weight reading from a communicating balance for each collected sample, and calculates therefrom mass concentration for each sample.
