PCE Instruments PCE-AS1 Air sampler data logger

Airborne Microbial Collector / Particle Collector for monitoring microbiological contamination with a 3-inch LCD touchscreen, based on the impaction principle and Bluetooth interface. It offers 99 memory slots for up to 4000 measurements and a sterilizable collection head.

The airborne microbial collector is used in various production areas to control microbiological contamination. It quantifies colony-forming microorganisms in the pharmaceutical industry, food and beverage production, hospitals, the cosmetics industry, and environmental monitoring.

For the analysis of microbiological load, the airborne microbial collector uses standard Petri dishes that are placed in the sterilizable collection head. It measures based on the impaction principle, where microorganisms are directly propelled onto a Petri dish filled with agar. This allows the sample to be incubated directly in the dishes.

The user-friendly operation, compact and handy design, as well as the 3-inch LCD touchscreen, make the airborne microbial collector a very user-friendly environmental sampler. Individual parameters can be saved in one of the 99 memory slots. Up to 2000 measurement values can be stored on the device with date, time, and volume, facilitating the reproducibility of the values.

Another advantage of the airborne microbial collector is that the volume is freely adjustable. Volumes from 10 to 6000 liters can be set, with a sampling flow rate of 100 liters per minute.
