BioCapt® Single-Use Microbial Impactor

The BioCapt® Single-Use active air microbial sampler is the latest innovation in the BioCapt Air Sampling product line. Using a radial slit impactor design similar to other BioCapt Air Sampling atria, the product complies with ISO 14698-1. This fully-prepared and sterilized unit eliminates agar plate preparation and minimizes operator handling.

Operator sample handling has been directly linked to costly falsepositive investigations. As a ready-to-use sterilized unit, the BioCapt Single-Use eliminates unintended contamination by removing operator interaction with media and sterile re-usable stainless steel impactor heads.

This product achieves sampling with minimal air disruption and can be used to sample efficiently at 25 or 50 l/min (recommended) to suit both routine monitoring and fast sampling needs.

Gamma-irradiated and H2O2 impermeable packing – The BioCapt Single-Use is gamma-irradiated in the final manufacturing step after it is triple-bagged, with the two outer bags made of H2O2 impermeable packaging. Elimination of external contamination improves reliability and enables validated recovery of microorganisms on the prepared culture media.

GMP compliance – BioCapt Single-Use meets GMP Compliance guidance for microbiological monitoring in cleanrooms and sterile production facilities during aseptic and sterile production. BioCapt Single-Use is easily introduced into a new environmental monitoring program or into any active air monitoring hardware system with fixed vacuum systems already in use.
