Although I have no doubt that the Cyclex is capable of capturing a reasonably accurate snapshot of the air in an area, the lab perspective is grim. First of all, most Cyclex users are pulling about 200 liters of air. This would seem to be an improvement over impactors that are only pulling 25-150 liters, right? No. In fact, pulling that much air typically overloads the Cyclex with so much debris that spores are obscured and can be missed. Also, the Cyclex has one of the largest areas of deposition, meaning that not only is it loaded with a whole bunch of debris, but it's spread over such a huge area of deposition, that it will take the lab twice as long to read as most other cassettes, and the CV or reproducibility is lousy. I hate seeing these come into the lab, as I know they are going to take forever to read, and are going to be difficult to read as well. If you're not concerned about whether the lab likes it or not, that's fine, but you're potentially sacrificing reprocucibility as a result.
