FSC-II Biological Air Sampler

Applications: FSC-II biological air sampler is an ideal instrument for detecting airborne microbial contamination. Honri air clean technology has improved the original design with a new model that provide a dynamic sampling range, more precise control and easier validation. FSC-II Model has been successfully used in a variety of environments including pharmaceutical facilities, hospitals, food and cosmetics labs. Principle of operation: A known volume of air is drawn by vacuum through a slit orifice that accelerates the sampled air and its contaminants. Located below the slit and in the path of airflow is an exposed agar plate that rotates on a turntable at a selected rate of speed. The contaminants, because of their higher mass become impacted on the agar surface, while the rest of the air mass flows around the plate and exits the air sampler. After incubation of the agar plate, colonies can be counted and identified. A particle distribution grid can also be used to help determine when a contamination event occurred. Specification: 1.
