Rapid quantification of bioaerosols containing L. pneumophila by Coriolis® μ air sampler and chemiluminescence antibody microarrays

► Comparison of two impingers AGI-30 and Coriolis® μ air sampler for bacteria (E. coli and L. pneumophila). ► Establishment of a test chamber for generating and sampling heat-inactivated L. pneumophila. ► Stable recoveries for tested organisms E. coli and L. pneumophila. ► Rapid and multiplexed quantification of pathogenic bioaerosols is possible in 1 h. ► Bioaerosol detection with microarray immunoassay reported for the first time
