PCE-AS1 is a modern air sampling meter that helps users assess microbiological pollution. The device uses the impaction principle when taking measurements. After air samples are taken and an incubation has occurred, the number of microorganisms can be determined. The air sampling meter must be used in a clean environment such as a pharmaceutical or food production facility. The air sampling meter meets the latest requirements for devices used for airborne microbial analysis. When samples are taken, the air particles enter through the surface of the meter. The particles then hit the surface...

Measuring process · Remove the cover from the collecting head. The collecting head should be sterilized in an autoclave at 121 ° C for 30 minutes (sterilization with a cloth with 75% alcohol is also possible). After sterilization, the cover should be placed back on the collecting head. The Petri dish should also be sterilized with 75% alcohol. Switch on the device. The display should show the current date and time settings, the battery level, the storage, the last set of the measuring volume, the delay time and other information. In the air sampler, a Petri dish with a middle diameter of Ø...

• Do not perform sampling with toxic corrosive gas. The device is also not for use in sour or alkaline environments. It is not allowed in areas where there is fine dust of 0.3 mg / m 3. Do not press the "sample" button before covering, because the pump can overheat and be destroyed. • Completely charge the battery before each use to prevent damage. • When the plate is inserted, it should be snug and reach the ground. • After each use, the collecting head and top should be cleaned with 75% alcohol. Then the cover must be placed again on the collecting head set. Alle PCE-Produkte sind...
