ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus for exposing biological materials to gas-phase or gas-borne agents, including the steps of providing a chamber for supporting said biological materials, said chamber including wicking means configured and arranged to hold said biological materials and provide said cells with a wetting medium while allowing said gas-phase or gas-borne agents to directly interact with said biological materials, humidifying said chamber to a humidity between 95% and 100%, inclusive, placing said biological materials in said chamber on said wicking means, exposing said biological materials in said chamber to one or more said gas-phase or gas-borne agents while maintaining said humidity between 95% and 100%, inclusive, and assessing the effect of said exposing on said biological materials.
