Abstract
An integrated fluidics system for simplified analysis of aerosolize biological particles has a unitary self-contained ticket provided with a sample fluid reservoir, an array of particle-detection strips, which is located adjacent to the sample reservoir, and, optionally, a cleaning fluid reservoir and an impinging nozzle. The fluidics system is, thus, configured to substantially minimize the fluid paths between the components of the system.
