Particle Sampler

PS 30

  • Particle sampling head on MBASS30
  • Particle sampling head
   

The particle sampler PS 30 captures the total spore content (cultivable and non-cultivable) in the air. The particles are deposited in a compact sampling track of a width of 1.1 mm wide and a length of 16 mm onto adhesive coated microscope slides.

The loaded slide can be stained directly after the sampling (without cultivation) and evaluated using a light optical microscope. In contrast to airborne spore sampling, the germination capacity of the particles is not relevant to the result, since each spore is detectable and countable in the microscope. Thanks to the high collection efficiency of the particle sampler, even agglomerates and aggregates of bacteria can be detected and counted.

In addition, particle sampling also reveals very fast information about non-microbiological disturbances in the air such as fibers, inorganic particles (e.g. abrasive particles from production facilities).

The particle sampling head PS 30 is operated with the battery-powered sampling system MBASS30V3.

The performance specifications of the PS 30 particle collector:

  • Detection even of non-cultivable spores and particles
  • Collection of spores, pollen, fibers, dandruff and other micro-particles in air and gas on adhesively coated microscope slides
  • Up to 3 samplings on one single slide because of adjustable slot jet
  • The slide fixation allows sampling in every operating position
  • The hose connection at the sampling intake allows for sampling from cavities
  • No cultivation time – evaluation possible immediately after sampling
  • No temperature and time restrictions for sample transport
  • This sampling method is applicable for control measurements performed after clean-up measures (WTA leaflet 4-12)

Thanks to its many advantages, the particle sampler PS 30 is the product of choice for expert surveys and in building biology today.

Option

Function

The sample air is drawn through a movable slot jet. The jet can be moved into three sampling positions. The considerably increased velocity of the air flow at the jet accelerates the particles in the
sample air towards the collection layer on the slide, to which they remain adhered.

The loaded slide can be stained and evaluated using a light optical microscope immediately after the sampling.

Characteristic spores and other particles are qualitatively determinable. Clusters and chains of spores are detected as well. Quantification is possible.

Application

Instant evaluation after sampling, determination of the overall spore content and the ability to identify non-cultivable particles make the particle sampler PS 30 the ideal sampling head.

Health Care

Due to early detection of microbiological air conditions, intricacies can be prevented. Moreover, the particle sampling process also provides very swift information on any non-microbiological disturbing influences present in the air such as fibers, e.g. fine particles emitted from operation clothing or particles separated from filters in air-conditioning systems.

Food Industry

Food spoiled due to mold means additional costs for producers and retailers. In addition, the unexpected sight of a mold culture in a freshly-opened food product may lead to the consumer experiencing nausea and disgust towards the product in question. A swifter qualitative and quantitative microbiological check of the circulating air during production or manufacturing is therefore an objective when striving to enhance production quality in order to minimize food spoilage due to microbiological causes.

Pharmaceutical Industry

Reducing the response time of an upcoming problem of microbiological mold allows to limit damage, carry out a root cause analysis and introduce measures to prevent any recurrence during ongoing production.

Expert Assessments and Building Biology

Sampling with the particle sampler PS 30 considerably expands the examination spectrum since even spores which are never or rarely cultivable, such as Stachybotrys chartarum, can be securely identified. This sampling method is a further important key to the assessment of indoor pollution.

During control measurements performed after clean-up measures, the particle sampler PS 30 allows the detection of mold spores which are no longer germinable following the use of antifungal agents. In addition, the swift result means cost savings due to reduced downtime in areas subject to clean-up measures.
