Abstract
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.
