PCE Particle Counter Air Sampler - AS1

PCE  Particle Counter Air Sampler - AS1

The PCE AS1 Particle Counter Air Sampler is designed to evaluate microbiological contamination and monitor hygiene. Ideal for use in hospitals, clean rooms, food and beverage facilities, as well as cosmetics and pharmaceutical production environments, the PCE-AS1 meets the latest standards for airborne microbial analysis devices. An optional ISO calibration lab certificate is also available

The PCE-AS1 air sampler uses the aerosol impaction principle or Andersen collision principle to assess air quality. The air taken in at the top of the instrument is pulled through 300 micropores and the resulting laminar air flow is directed onto the surface of an agar petri dish. When the sampling cycle is complete, the petri dish is removed and incubated. The bacterial and fungal counts can then be assessed in accordance with USP 797 and CAG-009 guidance.

The collecting head should be sterilized in an autoclave at 121° C for 30 minutes (sterilization with a cloth with 75% alcohol is also possible.) The petri dish should also be sterilized with 75% alcohol.
