Start with where you need to sample and what your monitoring programme requires.
At a glance
- Four configurations: single head, dual head, compressed gas and isolator
- Flow rates of 100, 180 and 360 L/min
- Up to 2,000 L per sample, collected on 55 mm contact plates or 90 mm Petri dishes
- Stores up to 1,200 runs, with delay and interval sampling
Start with the sampling location
Identify the rooms, isolators or compressed-gas lines your team needs to monitor. The sampling location helps determine which instrument and accessories to evaluate.
Check how it fits your workflow
Compare the sample volume, flow rate, compatible media, cleaning requirements, calibration support and the way results are recorded. Consider how staff will handle the instrument in the sampling area and how easily it can be moved between locations.
