AIR SAMPLER GAS SAMPLER CHECK OF FLOW RATE

AIR SAMPLER GAS SAMPLER CHECK OF FLOW RATE

AGC air sampler consists of one instrument to sample air at 100 l/m.
The aluminum bell placed on the aspirating head allows to sample gas at 100 l/m.
The technopolymer yellow bell is used to check the precision of the instrument’s flow rate.

The body of the AGC instrument is designed to stand much more stable on the surface. It is also easier for the end user to read the keyboard and, as the aspirating head is vertical, to place the plates or the bell on it. Primary applications are for pharmaceutical aseptic filling suites, cleanrooms, biotech, IVF clinics, operating theaters, hospital, pharmacies, blood banks.

It is used for active microbial air sampling.

If used for sampling the gas, the instrument works by measuring the pressure’s variation generated by air sampler while air is aspirated through an aluminum bell. A differential pressure sensor measures that variation and compares it with the reference values.

The digital control unit works as a flow meter before the gas passes through the microbial sampler.

When used to check the status of the calibration, the instrument runs by measuring the pressure’s variation generated by air sampler while air is aspirated through a technopolymer bell placed on the head of the sampler. The differential pressure sensor measures that variation and compares it with the reference values.

At the end of the test, the instrument gives the result of the test: OK if the air sampler is still calibrated, WARNING or ERROR if the air sampler is not calibrated within initial calibration specifics.

  • The data can be always transferred to a PC if a dedicated software is installed.
  • The transfer data can be made via Bluetooth or via cable.
  • The battery is recharged by a power cable connected directly to the air sampler.
