Viable Cleanroom Monitor: BioCapt® Impactor
Sensitivity range: 1 cfu
Viable cleanroom monitor enables the capture of viable particles on a suitable media surface for later incubation and enumeration.
Point of Product
Description
The BioCapt® Microbial Impactor by Particle Measuring Systems (PMS) enables the capture of microbiologically viable particulates on a suitable media surface for later incubation and enumeration. With precision-cut slits to ensure laminar flow, the BioCapt Viable Cleanroom Monitor maximizes collection efficiencies for viable particles in accordance with ISO 14698-1. The 25 L/min flow rate ensures sample volume is collected slowly enough to enable sampling during the maximum amount of process time while avoiding desiccation of the collection medium. Flow visualization studies prove that the BioCapt viable cleanroom monitor does not interfere with the laminar flow in the manufacturing environment ensuring the safety of the drug. Biological efficiency is guaranteed by ensuring optimal impaction velocity and giving statistical control over false-positive results.
