The Via-Cell® bioaerosol sampling cassette is designed to collect both viable and non-viable bioaerosols, maintain visibility of the viable mold spores and prevent growth during transport to the laboratory. It is the first disposable cassette impactor with multiple analysis options that brings simplicity and reliability to viable bioaerosol sampling.

• Provided ready-to-use
• No refrigeration – only room temperature required
• No electricity or heavy equipment required
• 1 year shelf life is 4 times as long as traditional methods
• Multiple analysis options – compatible with culture plates, PCR and direct microscopy screening
• Independently validated and compared to current industry standard methods by both universities and laboratories

Sampling with the Via-Cell® is very similar to its sister product Air-O-Cell®. Simply connect it o any pump calibrated to 15 LBM and run your sample. The key to the Via-Cell® is that the media used for collection maintains viability of spores and allows several analysis options.

Culturable Sampling: The Via-Cell® sampler is the perfect tool for collecting viable organism and culturing them on agar plates. Simply dilute the media in sterile water and transfer to a culture plate.

PCR Analysis: The Via-Cell® utilizes a water soluble collection media which is ideal for PCR and other chemical types of analysis. Once the sample is diluted in water, it can be transferred most anywhere.

Direct Microscopy: Sample collected using the Via-Cell® sampler may be "pre-screened" using direct microscopy methods, which is allow the analyst to decide if additional analysis techniques are needed, which may include culturing or standard direct microscopy analysis.
