Short summary
Monitoring airborne microbes is crucial for health and ecosystems, but often slow and expensive. We adapted an existing instrument, Rapid-E, using Laser-Induced Fluorescence and machine learning, for rapid, field-deployable bacterial identification. Our system successfully detected bacteria and showed promise in distinguishing various species. This faster approach improves environmental monitoring and helps safeguard public health by quickly spotting potential microbial threats in the air.
