MD8 Airscan® with Sampling Head

Bayonet, Tri-clamp Connector Version

The MD8 Airscan® can actively sample airborne viruses, bacteria, yeasts and fungi. Monitoring ambient air in cleanrooms and controlled areas for viable microorganisms in the (c)GMP environment is a routine task in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries as well as the food and beverage industry. Air sampling is imperative for ensuring quality experiments in the biotechnology industry and making sure consumables are safe for the general public.

A fundamental aspect of cleanrooms and critical zones is to achieve lowest concentrations of airborne particles by reducing introduction and generation. Measurement for this purpose must be accurate, reliable and not introduce the risk of secondary contamination. The MD8 Airscan® is designed to detect the smallest viruses and microorganisms in the air by using unique Gelatine Membrane Filters (GMF) and BACTairTM agar plates. Air sampling in critical areas can be performed isokinetically with MD8 Airscan®.

Active Air Monitoring in Cleanrooms and Controlled Areas

Active monitoring of viable airborne microorganisms is important for ensuring product quality and safety. Regulatory standards require a sampling of at least 1 m3 of air. In this procedure, care must be taken that turbulence is not caused by, for example, devices such as active air samplers and that sampling is performed isokinetically. In the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, it is important to measure air quality in cleanrooms, sterility testing isolators, filing lines, quality control areas, laboratories, warehouses, personnel airlocks and aseptic transfer chambers for materials.

Quality Control

Product quality for the MD8 Airscan® is stringent and of utmost priority. To meet quality requirements, 100% final testing of the MD8 Airscan® is performed as part of the product's manufacturing process. In addition, every stainless steel sampling head is calibrated and adjusted after assembly.

Exceptional Customer Service

Our extensive experience ensures the quality of the MD8 Airscan®. From equipment qualification IQ|OQ to regular maintenance, we offer the right choice of services to ensure compliance with high regulatory requirements, especially GMP.
