TRIO.BAS™ AGC MICROBIAL AIR SAMPLER

A complete instrument developed to cover the basics of microbial environmental monitoring

AIR SAMPLER       GAS SAMPLER       CHECK OF FLOW RATE

AGC sampler consists of:

1) instrument for sampling air in the cleanroom at 100 l/m

A bell for:

2) Sampling the compressed gas at 100 l/m and

A bell for:

3) checking the precision’s level of the flow rate


Highlights 

The AGC instrument is designed to be more stable on a surface. It is also easier for the end user to read the keyboard and use the screen and, as the aspirating head is vertical, to place agar plates or the bell on it. Primary applications are for pharmaceutical aseptic filling suites, cleanrooms, biotech, IVF clinics, operating theatres, hospital, pharmacies, and blood banks. 

It is used for active microbial air sampling. 

If used for sampling the gas, the instrument works by measuring the pressure’s variation generated by air sampler while air is aspirated through a stainles- steel bell. A differential pressure sensor measures that variation and compares it with the reference values. The digital control unit works as a flow meter before the gas passes through the microbial sampler. 

When used to check the status of the calibration, the instrument runs by measuring the pressure’s variation generated by air sampler while air is aspirated through a technopolymer bell placed on the head of the sampler. The differential pressure sensor measures that variation and compares it with the reference values. 

At the end of the test, the instrument gives the result of the test: OK if the air sampler is still calibrated, WARNING or ERROR if the air sampler is not calibrated within initial calibration specifics.

Performances 
  • The data can be always transferred to a PC if the dedicated software is installed.
  • The transfer of data can be made via Bluetooth (or via cable for cable models only). This is helpful for all companies that, due to internal policy, are not allowed to use wireless transfer.
  • The battery is recharged using a power cable connected directly to the air sampler.
  • When used as an active air sampler the use of optional sterile “Daily Shift” aspirating heads reduces the risk of contamination.
  • The user has a choice to work either in manual or automatic mode.
  • It is compact and easy to transfer to other positions / location.
  • Compliant with ISO 14698-1, ISO 8537-7 and FDA.
  • SOP (Standard Operating Procedure) available from Application Notes.
  • Volume of aspirated air: 100 litres/min both for air sampling and gas sampling
  • Instrument size : 303x158x135 H mm – weight 1830 grams
