Microbial air sampler MD8

Airborne microbes pose a potential risk of contamination for products and raw materials. Therefore, air sampling with active devices is a method commonly used for evaluation of particles, fungi, spores and microorganisms – even of viruses and bacteriophages. Sampling of a specific volume of air in a defined time can be performed with two different physical methods: filtration or impaction. Sartorius offers both solutions to suit your particular application. In addition, Sartorius defined growth media enable you to obtain qualitative and quantitative results. MD8 air samplers, MD8 airscan and portable Airport MD8 for detection of airborne microorganisms. Overview A fundamental aspect of cleanrooms and critical zones is to achieve lowest concentrations of airborne particles by reducing ther introduction and generation. Measurement for this purpose must be accurate as well as reliable, and must not interfere with the zone protection. The MD8 air samplers, MD8 Airscan and the portable AirPort MD8, are designed to detect smallest viruses and microorganism in the air by using the unique Gelatine Membrane Filters (GMF) and BACTairTM agar plates. Air sampling in critical areas can be performed isokinetically with MD8 Airscan.
