Introduction PCE-AS1 is a modern air sampling meter that helps users assess microbiological pollution. The device uses the impaction principle when taking measurements. After air samples are taken and an incubation has occurred, the number of microorganisms can be determined. The air sampling meter must be used in a clean environment such as a pharmaceutical or food production facility.
Applications Pharmaceutical industry Recording of the laminar flow of microorganisms; Analysis of the cleanliness of a clean room; Testing the effectiveness of sterilization. Food industry Detection of microbial contamination in the clean room according to the HACCP concept. Hospitals Detection of pathogenic microorganisms in operating theaters, as well as in the pharmacy, storeroom or ICU.

Measuring process · Remove the cover from the collecting head. The collecting head should be sterilized in an autoclave at 121 ° C for 30 minutes (sterilization with a cloth with 75% alcohol is also possible). After sterilization, the cover should be placed back on the collecting head. The Petri dish should also be sterilized with 75% alcohol.
Maintenance and precautionary measures · Do not perform sampling with toxic corrosive gas. The device is also not for use in sour or alkaline environments. It is not allowed in areas where there is fine dust of 0.3 mg / m ³. Do not press the "sample"...
