MiniCapt® Pro Remote Microbial Air Sampler

Sensitivity range: 1 cfu

The MiniCapt® Pro Remote Microbial Air Sampler from Particle Measuring Systems (PMS) incorporates the latest viable cleanroom monitoring technologies into one instrument to customize cleanroom and aseptic area microbial monitoring according to ISO Class 5/7, GMP Grade A/B, and for use in background areas monitored by a Facility Monitoring System (FMS). This new all-in-one remote monitoring product fully meets EU GMP Annex 1 regulatory requirements and the operational needs of the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry where flexible connectivity and compliance are of value.

Designed for mounting in tight spaces and loaded with features, the MiniCapt Pro has a small footprint and gives the user flexible installation options with an internal pump, Power over Ethernet (PoE), WiFi, and analog and digital I/O capabilities. The external 316L stainless steel enclosure protects the unit during cleaning activities and from harsh environments. The MiniCapt Pro accommodates various settle plate options and was designed for seamless use with the BioCapt stainless steel impactor and the BioCapt Single-Use. The MiniCapt Pro is offered in two models and flowrates for added customization.

The MiniCapt Pro can be fully integrated into Particle Measuring Systems’ FacilityPro® system or other FMS via MODBUS communications.
