Bioaerosol samplers are vital equipment for us in bioaerosol research, clean rooms, pharmaceutical validation and throughout healthcare wherever air hygiene is vital. Designed to meet the requirements of ISO14698 and ISO17141, the MicroBio MB2 Bioaerosol Sampler has a host of features making it ideal for use in such applications.
The MicroBio MB2 bioaerosol sampler is capable of using 90 mm Petri Dish (400 and 220 hole head versions) or 55 mm contact plates (only 220 hole head version), avoiding the expense of proprietary sampling media. Using standard readily available consumables at low cost with a variety of media makes the MicroBio MB2 an economical instrument to use. The MicroBio MB2 bioaerosol sampler is an invaluable device designed for use in hospitals, with IAQ consultants and validating clean rooms to ISO 14698 requirements and USP797 Guidelines in the United States.
The MicroBio MB2-HiFlow Bioaerosol Sampler has all the features of the tried and trusted MicroBio MB2 model, but with the added advantage of sampling at a rate of 180 litres per minute, nearly halving the time to take a sample. The time to sample a cubic meter of air is reduced from 10 minutes to 6 minutes.
