Pollen and other aerosol particles
SwisensPoleno’s artificial intelligence uses a pre-filter to separate different particle categories. In this short blog article, we explain what the prefilter for automatic pollen identification is all about. In doing so, we answer the following question: How can SwisensPoleno distinguish pollen from other aerosol particles?
From particle to Screen
This article describes how we convert individual bioaerosol particles into data available on our screen. In general, we try to answer one main question: How does real-time bioaerosol data get to users?
How to analyze aerosol data from real-time measurement
The latest technologies allow the measurement and monitoring of aerosol particles in real time. A measuring system continuously draws in air and measures and identifies the particles it contains. This is also the case with the measurement systems from Swisens. In this article, we will show you one way to analyze aerosol data from real-time measurements using our measurement systems and software solutions.
Can SwisensPoleno identify pollen in my region?
Can SwisensPoleno identify pollen in my region? To address this question, in this article we look at our systems for real-time monitoring of pollen. We show which pollen types SwisensPoleno can currently identify. In addition, you will learn what ways exist should the pollen taxa you want not be on the list.
Cost comparison: automatic versus traditional pollen monitoring
In this blog post we venture a comparison of the costs of automated versus traditional pollen monitoring. We look at the initial costs as well as the long-term operating costs of traditional pollen counting with the “Hirst method” versus an automated solution for real-time pollen monitoring.
Particle morphology from holographic images
This article explains the basics of automatic aerosol particle identification. We explain how our measurement systems extract information on particle morphology from holographic images and how you can distinguish between different aerosol particles.

“I speak on behalf of my colleagues who are Urban Observatory Principal Investigators and Research Collaborators from the University of Manchester that we have rarely seen, or been provided with such exemplary support as that provided by Swisens. Swisens customer support has been remarkable given the current situation, from remote training and commissioning to rapid support for hardware and software tools specific to our needs to extremely well organised seminars that actually focus on customer feedback and needs. In particular we have been impressed with the Swisens open source data approach and their attention to different users specific needs. Swisens technical innovations has already generated enormous interest in a bioaerosol-aerobiology community that until recently has been limited with respect to real-world and near real-time detection and importantly quantification of airborne bioaerosol concentrations. Their approach has developed significant rapport with multi-disciplinary researchers and Swisens should be lauded for this.”
