Merck provides accurate microbial air sampling for highly controlled areas and cleanrooms

As portable air samplers are sometimes moved and used across environments with differing levels of microbial contamination, there could be a potential risk of cross-contamination between areas.

ISO class 5 GMP grade A environments

If instruments are used in different cleanroom classes, there is a minor risk that particles may be carried over inside an instrument. Ensure peace of mind by mounting a HEPA H13 exhaust air particle filter to your sampler

Eliminate particle carry-over using Merck's MAS-100 NT viable air sampler with HEPA air exhaust filter

  • Particle carry-over is essentially eliminated by the insertion of a HEPA filter
  • The filter has no influence on the airflow calibration or microbial sampling efficiency
  • Filtration efficiency is not affected by heavy usage in uncontrolled environments

This poster shows how to eliminate the risk of cross-contamination when air samplers are moved and used in various environments.
