Environmental Monitoring and Aseptic Process Simulation

MICROBIAL AIR SAMPLERS

Our air samplers are based on different principles, enabling technology selection to suit your needs. We offer products specifically designed for explosion hazard areas, cleanrooms and isolators, and compressed gas monitoring. Our easy-to-use monitoring systems are designed for many environmental monitoring needs.

• The MAS-100 NT^® and MAS-100 NT Ex^® portable  air samplers with or without HEPA exhaust filter provide excellent accuracy, precision and sampling efficiency. They are designed for highly critical areas, such as cleanrooms grade A
• The MAS-100 VF^® active air sampler is designed for controlled environments. It is compact, easy to handle, and perfect for monitoring environment quality.
• Easily and automatically detect microbial contamination in gases with the MAS-100 Atmos^® compressed gas sampler, which is simple, safe, and compliant with 21 CFR Part 11.
• The RCS^® high-flow touch handheld air sampler  features a light weight solution for ambient air monitoring. Impaction of microorganisms on centrigugal force avoids the need for Feller correction.The RCS^® compressed gas adapter adds the capability for microbial monitoring in compressed gases, enabling seamless switching between viable air and compressed gas testing.

CONTACT PLATES, SETTLE PLATES, SLIDES AND SWABS

We provide a wide selection of plates tailored for environmental monitoring in isolators and critical cleanrooms, including the non-lockable ICR and lockable ICRplus Contact and Settle Plates with TSA + LTHTh.

• ICR Swabs are designed for absence-presence testing on dry surfaces in isolators and cleanrooms that are challenging to access for surface and personnel monitoring.
• ICR Contact plates are designed to minimize the risk of contamination as they are produced in clean rooms. The lockable ICRplus/RTplus versions can be safely transported for incubation under aerobic, microaerophilic, or anaerobic conditions.
• Hycon^® Contact Slides  are intended for monitoring flat and curved surfaces and personnel. They are available in standard single packaging or a double-bagged, gamma-irradiated format.
• ICR and ICRplus settle plates feature a high filling volume of 30 mL in 90 mm plates to reduce water loss during air monitoring. They are offered in animal-free formulations to minimize the risk of BSE/TSE contamination.

ISOLATORS AND RABS SOLUTIONS

Isolators and RABS are designed to eliminate human contact during controlled manufacturing. The MAS-100 Iso NT^® & MAS-100 Iso MH^® instruments, along with the IsoBag^® rapid transfer bag, enable safe remote microbial air sampling and rapid culture media transfer into isolators.

The IsoBag^® expedites environmental monitoring in aseptic production isolators by providing ready-to-use gamma-irradiated contact or settle plates for immediate use. This eliminates the need for decontamination cycles before introducing settle or contact plates, freeing up time for production processes and resulting in cost savings.

CULTURE MEDIA FOR ASEPTIC PROCESS SIMULATION

Our irradiated, triple-wrapped granulated media or ready-to-use media alleviate concerns about compromising validated processes during media fill trials.

• Granulated culture media, carefully formulated, enables pharmaceutical manufacturers to conduct efficient media fill trials with minimal risks.
• Ready-to-use culture media, such as Tryptic Soy Broth (TSB) and Vegetable Peptone Broth (VPB), undergo sterilization by autoclave and a two-step pre-filtration process, ensuring their quality.
