Six Stage Viable Impactor

SKU: SERIES-10-800

Description

The Six Stage Bioaerosol Sampler is a multi-stage, multi-orifice cascade impactor that measures concentration and particle size distribution of aerosol-type bacteria and fungi in the ambient air.

The six stage viable impactor collects all particles, regardless of physical size, shape, or density. The particles are aerodynamically sized, there is a direct relationship to the penetration of the lung.

Design

The Six Stage Viable Impactor has an aluminum inlet cone, six aluminum jet stages, glass Petri dishes, and an aluminum base plate held together by three spring clamps and sealed with o-ring gaskets. Each stage has 400 precision machined jet orifices. The Six Stage Impactor operates at a flow rate of exactly 28.3 lpm (1 CFM).

The collection and assessment of aerosol samples is quite simple - Petri dishes containing an agar medium are placed in the instrument and the sample of air is drawn. The Petri dishes are then removed, incubated and counted by an accepted method. New Star Environmental has a complete line of colony counters.
