The MicroBio MB2 is a hand-held bioaerosol sampler designed to meet the requirements of ISO 14698 and ISO 17141 for airborne micro-organism monitoring in clean rooms, pharmaceutical validation and healthcare. It draws 100 litres per minute onto standard 90 mm Petri dishes or, with the 220-hole head, 55 mm contact plates, so there is no proprietary sampling medium to buy. The MB2-HiFlow version samples at 180 litres per minute and cuts the time for a cubic metre of air from ten minutes to six.
Key benefits
Standard, low-cost media
Uses ordinary 90 mm Petri dishes, or 55 mm contact plates with the 220-hole head, instead of proprietary media.
100 or 180 L/min
100 litres per minute as standard, or 180 with the MB2-HiFlow, which halves the time to sample a cubic metre.
Delayed and sequential runs
Start delay from 1 minute to 3 hours and sequential sampling of up to 100 samples over as long as 24 hours.
Portable and autoclavable
2.7 kg with accessories, battery powered from 4 AA NiMH cells, with autoclavable sampling heads.
Applied in
Clean room qualification and monitoring
Pharmaceutical process validation
Hospital and operating theatre air hygiene
