Hardy Diagnostics introduces the next generation of microbial air samplers for viable particles.

• Aspirating head with easy manipulation bayonet closure
• Manual or automatic operations
• Ergonomic and balanced design to facilitate handling with ease
• No plugs or external connections

The Trio.Bas™ instruments utilize the impaction method of air sampling. The air, passing through an aspirating head, impacts onto an appropriate agar plate that collects bacteria or other organic substances possibly present in the sampled area. Components and production process have been certified to ATEX standards for Zone 2 explosion hazard areas.

All air samplers are lightweight, with an antibacterial techno-polymer shockproof body, have a long-lasting battery, and are IP65 protected from dust and water. Per USP <797>, Impaction is the preferred method of active air sampling. Use of settling plates for qualitative air sampling cannot be relied upon and shall not be used solely to determine the quality of air in the controlled environment.
