Abstract
Apparatus and methods for detecting the presence of an airborne chemical or biological analyte utilize: Efficient wet electrostatic precipitation with efficient collection of captured particles into a tiny liquid volume are achieved by the use of a liquid flow system comprising a programmable reversible pump with a reversible filter and appropriate liquid connections and valves. Injection of water sprays into the air stream and onto the interior walls of the collector electrode permits thorough wetting of interior surfaces and efficient removal of residual captured particles.
