PMT® BioAerosol Monitoring System
The BioAerosol Monitoring System (BAMS) M120 is an advanced real-time airborne microbial monitoring solution designed for high-performance cleanroom and controlled environment applications. Engineered to meet strict pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and healthcare standards, it delivers continuous, instantaneous detection of bioaerosols without the need for incubation or traditional culture methods. With a precise flow rate of 2.83 LPM and particle size detection ranging from 0.5 to 25 µm, the M120 ensures accurate monitoring of airborne contamination. Its ISO 21501-4 compliant particle counting technology guarantees high measurement reliability, while integrated alarm functions provide immediate alerts when contamination thresholds are exceeded. The system supports 24/7 continuous monitoring and offers real-time data visualization, enabling fast decision-making, contamination control, and process optimization. Thanks to its portable design, lightweight structure, and robust 316L stainless steel and anodized aluminum enclosure, the M120 is suitable for both fixed installations and mobile operations. Equipped with multiple connectivity options including USB, RJ45, and optional WiFi, the system allows seamless data transfer and export in PDF or Excel formats. Its large internal storage capacity ensures secure long-term data recording, while user-level access management enhances data integrity and compliance. Ideal for pharmaceutical manufacturing, sterile production areas, laboratories, and healthcare environments, the BAMS M120 significantly improves contamination control, reduces production risk, and enhances quality assurance through continuous environmental monitoring and real-time microbial detection. BAMS met or exceeded all the acceptance criteria as outlined in USP <1223> for accuracy, precision, linearity, specificity, LOD, LOQ, range, ruggedness, and robustness – so is an accepted alternative method for Microbial Environmental Monitoring in a Grade A area.
