Viable air samplers for cleanroom monitoring
Ensure aseptic production conditions by reliably monitoring airborne microorganisms with these advanced air sampling solutions, vital for maintaining contamination-free environments in sensitive manufacturing processes.

Monitors Air and Gas for Microbial Contamination
The MAS-100 NT and RCS® High Flow Air and Gas Samplers are designed by industry leaders to address critical contamination control challenges in environments demanding high precision, such as pharmaceuticals, biotech, and food manufacturing. The MAS-100 NT series, operating on the Anderson impaction principle, accurately samples ambient air and compressed gases using settle and contact plates. Ideal for cleanroom grades up to ISO 5, these samplers offer both portable and fixed installations, with explosion-proof models for hazardous conditions. The RCS® series employs a centrifugal impaction method, featuring a high-resolution touchscreen and ergonomic design for seamless operation, accommodating a variety of conditions and including a compressed gas adapter for versatility. Both series comply with GMP and ISO standards, ensuring compatibility with rigorous regulatory environments. Enhanced with features like gentle impaction speed and low-turbulence airflows, these samplers deliver reliable environmental monitoring with minimized energy costs and efficient cleaning processes, offering customizable options to meet specific operational needs.
