When working in a sensitive environment, it is critical to use the right equipment. Your first priority should always be preserving the quality of the environment surrounding your workspace, as environmental stability can make or break any number of critical mission functions. For this reason, it is worth taking a little time to understand which […]
Air Monitoring Equipment
Air sampling equipment is designed with a specific purpose in mind, but many purchasers do not realize that the differences between different air samplers can be major factors in the appropriate testing and control of their environments. Simply put, some air monitoring equipment are not fit for operation in certain environments, and using the wrong […]
Understanding Air Monitoring Equipment
Air monitoring is a critical component of many Quality Control systems Air monitoring equipment ensures that a work environment is safe for the people working in it, and helps prevent against the spread of contaminates. There are a few different things to consider when implementing an air sampling protocol if you’re looking to guarantee the […]
Sieve Impaction Samplers
When it comes to active air sampling, you have a choice between a few common designs. Slit-to-Agar, Centrifugal, Liquid Impinger, and straight filter air samplers all have their uses and individual strengths. However, Sieve Impaction samplers, which also rely on active air sampling methodology, are very popular due in large part to some of the […]
Considerations in Choosing an Active Microbial Air Sampler
There are two primary types of microbial air sampling: Active air sampling, and passive air sampling. In passive air sampling, a nutrient media test plate is placed in a desired location and allowed to collect particulates (both viable and non viable) for a desired amount of time. Active air sampling, on the other hand, requires […]
