SAS Super80 Air Sampler

• Cleanroom monitoring in pharmaceutical and biotechnology manufacturing.
• Environmental monitoring in hospitals and healthcare facilities.
• Quality control in food and beverage production environments.
• Assessment of airborne microbial contamination in research laboratories.
• Validation of sterile processing areas and controlled environments.

Airflow rate

Typically 80-100 litres per minute, allowing for efficient sampling of large air volumes.

Sampling media

Commonly uses standard 55mm contact plates or 90mm Petri dishes, depending on the sampling head.

Sampling head material

Units of this type commonly feature aluminium, stainless steel, or autoclavable resin heads for different applications and sterilisation needs.

Power supply

Typically battery-operated (rechargeable NiMH or Li-ion) for portability, with an AC adapter for charging and continuous operation.

Footprint

For this class of equipment, units are generally compact and portable, designed for ease of use in various locations.

Data logging

Many units include features for logging sample data, time, and volume, important for regulatory compliance and traceability.

Calibration

Regular calibration is required to ensure accuracy, typically on an annual basis.

• What is an impaction-type microbial air sampler?

  An impaction-type sampler draws a known volume of air through a perforated head, impacting airborne microorganisms onto an agar plate for subsequent incubation and counting.

• Why is the Super80 model considered reliable?

• Can this unit be used in cleanrooms?

• What maintenance is typically required?

• Are spare parts and consumables readily available?

• Does this unit provide data traceability?

Particle counters and analysis systems are regarded as essential tools for quality assurance and contamination control across pharmaceutical, biotech and food processing sectors. When purchasing used units, buyers should verify calibration history and optical component condition, as these directly affect measurement accuracy. Industry users value their reliability and precision for meeting regulatory compliance standards. Key strengths include consistent performance across batch testing and minimal maintenance requirements when properly maintained.
