Multi-Pressure Bioaerosol Sampler

PMT® MPBAS - Multi-Pressure BioAerosol Sampler

The MPBAS Multi-Pressure Bioaerosol Sampler is an advanced microbial air and compressed gas sampling system designed for pharmaceutical manufacturing, biotechnology, and critical controlled environments. Engineered to support GMP-compliant contamination control strategies, it enables accurate detection of airborne microorganisms even under complex pressure conditions.The system features a unique multi-mode sampling technology that allows operation in both pre-decompression and post-decompression environments. This ensures reliable microbial collection from compressed gases such as air, nitrogen, CO₂, argon, and oxygen, as well as standard environmental air sampling applications. With precise flow control and integrated pressure management, the MPBAS guarantees stable and reproducible sampling performance across a wide range of operating conditions. Its intelligent automatic sampling function eliminates the need for manual pressure adjustment, improving safety, efficiency, and ease of use. Designed for flexibility, the MPBAS supports remote sampling with tubing up to 8 meters, enabling integration into isolators, cleanrooms, and production lines. Its powerful built-in pump ensures consistent performance during environmental monitoring, while high compatibility allows connection with various microbial air samplers. The system delivers fast and accurate sampling with optimized microbial recovery, making it ideal for contamination risk assessment, process validation, and routine environmental monitoring.Robust, versatile, and engineered for demanding industrial applications, the MPBAS enhances contamination control strategies by providing reliable, high-precision microbial monitoring in both atmospheric and compressed gas environments. Meets current and future ISO 8573-7 regulations for compressed gas testing for microbial contamination.
