Portable Microbial Air Sampler
Model: MiniCapt
The MiniCapt® Portable Microbial Sampler enables an operator to collect biocontamination samples throughout cleanrooms and clean air devices. The slits in the BioCapt® Impactor Head are precision cut to ensure laminar flow, thus maximizing collection efficiencies for microbial particles of interest in accordance with ISO 14698-1. Biological efficiency is guaranteed by ensuring optimal impaction velocity also giving statistical control over false positive results. Sampling intervals are completely customizable by the user to start and stop multiple times per run so the entire process can be monitored. The fully autoclavable BioCapt Impactor Head, highly sanitizable sampler case, and HEPA filtered outlet air ensure that the MiniCapt Portable Microbial Sampler does not contaminate the cleanroom environment. Monitoring of compressed gases or remote sampling of aseptic environments is possible with the purchase of the optional compressed gases kit or isolator kit.
BENEFITS
Validated to ISO 14698-1: Biocontamination Control of Cleanrooms and Associated Controlled Environments
High physical and biological collection eficiency calculated per ISO 14698-1/Annex B
