The BioCapt® Single-Use Microbial Impactor is a lightweight, integrated air sampler designed to be used with both portable and remote monitoring systems in remote sampling settings. The impactor eliminates the risk of false positive results and final product contamination from microbial sampling interactions, while decreasing the cost of investigations. The single use sampling head enables manufacturers to monitor their full process, eliminating the risk of non-conclusive results by settle plates. The innovative design is a combination of media plate and sampling head into a single unit. This unique solution eliminates the handling risk, costs, and complications related to autoclaving and stainless steel head disinfection.

It is a sterile, ready-to-use unit already filled with medium, eliminating agar plate preparation and minimizing operator handling. The units are packed in a gamma irradiated double bag (3 units/double-bagged).

The single use impactor uses a radial slit design, validated at the Centre for Applied Microbiology & Research (CAMR), a Health Protection Agency (HPA) at Porton Down. It achieves isokinetic sampling for minimal air turbulence in compliance with ISO 14698-1, and can be used for sampling at 25 - 50 LPM.

Manual contamination (false positives) from incorrect manipulation is greatly reduced as the operator must only follow three steps: remove the single use impactor unit from the bag, install it in a portable or continuous monitoring system and take off the lid. When sampling completes and after replacing the lid, the single use impactor gets directly placed into an incubator. Due to its design and weight, it can be handled easily with one hand.

By using the BioCapt Single-Use, it is possible to reduce the costs of investigations related to false positive results that could occur when using traditional agar plates.
