Microbial monitoring of the production environment

Millipore M Air T system is designed to accurately and rapidly monitor the microbial quality of air in aseptic manufacturing environments, by sampling airborne contaminants in critical areas

Millipore M Air T system is designed to accurately and rapidly monitor the microbial quality of air in aseptic manufacturing environments.

The production environment is one of the main potential sources of contamination and requires appropriate testing systems and procedures for final product sterility assurance.

Millipore facilitates high-volume sampling for airborne microbial analysis in critical areas.

Millipore M Air T system is uniquely capable of processing up to 1000L of air in just 7 minutes.

M Air T is a system that impacts micro-organisms onto an agar surface, which is the referenced method for analysing microbial air contamination.

While most environmental monitoring systems often require separate flow meters, Millipore M Air T system samples exactly the volume required.

This minimises the contamination risk regularly found with the use of supplementary equipment.

In addition, the tester memory allows operators to easily create and store air flow parameters, set run-time and specify criteria for multi-cycle operation.

The pre-sterilised M Air T Agar Cassettes used with M Air T are packaged double-wrapped, and tested to ensure accurate results, while allowing easy handling.

The cassettes are designed with a large agar supply to prevent desiccation of the medium and with an integrated grid for easy colony counting.

M Air T Air Tester is especially designed for clean rooms and is small enough to be used in confined spaces.

As in-process microbiological controls have become increasingly important, Millipore has extended the M Air T system fields of applications.

M Air T Isolator brings the convenience and performance of the M Air T concept to barrier environments and isolators.

M Air T Compressed Gas and Air Sampling is designed to accurately monitor the microbial quality of compressed gas and air lines in aseptic manufacturing environments.

As a result, the typical applications of the M Air T systems are to determine microbiological quality of laminar flow hoods, assess contamination procedures in pharmaceutical plants, evaluate airborne contamination in food and beverage production environments, detect airborne pathogenic micro-organisms in critical patient areas, and differentiate between particulate and microbial contamination in clean rooms and isolator environments.

Beyond the obvious advantages of fast set-up and sampling, the key benefits of Millipore M Air T systems are convenience, easy counting, programming and low maintenance.
