Description
The CAMS ImpactAir 90 from Clean Air Monitoring Solutions is a state-of-the-art high efficiency new generation microbial air sampler designed for continuous microbial sampling / monitoring in pharmaceutical cleanrooms, hospitals, universities, research facilities and other controlled environments. It is designed to be fully compliant with the latest ISO 14698, EN-17141 and EU GMP Annex 1 requirements. Incorporating the latest slit to agar technology and with a unique rotating head, these units have a very low d50 value of only 0.5um with exceptional biological efficiency.
One of the greatest benefits to customers is their unique ability to sample for 4 hours continuously using only 1 rotating standard 90mm agar plate. This saves customers a HUGE amount of time and money every day (per location) and these instruments pay for themselves very quickly in consumable cost savings.
Sick of Running Around All Day Doing Microbial Air Sampling
Wasting all That Time & Those 90mm Agar Plates
Key Features

Clean Air Monitoring Solutions (CAMS) has listened to the voice of many end users and created a monitoring platform that meets the requirements of the regulations whilst offering a range of flexible solutions to meet the end users specific requirements. The platform uses common components and user interface throughout to create a suite of solutions based on the same core technology that can be deployed across all areas. Using a common platform reduces the operator training requirement, reduces risk, simplifies regulator audits, simplifies product support and calibration, and allows data from different areas to be compared on the same baseline.
The Technology
With the CAMS ImpactAir 90, air is drawn at high speed through a very narrow inlet slit, whereupon particles, including microbes in the air, impact and stick onto an agar surface in a petri dish. The petri dish is slowly rotated under the inlet, thus ensuring the air is always ‘impacted’ onto an area of fresh agar. This dramatically reduces the desiccation of the microbes resulting in a very high biological and physical efficiency unmatched by other types of sampler or real-time systems. Another advantage of the rotating agar plate is that the results are time correlated. Whilst not timed to the second, localized growth on the plate can be time estimated based by its position on the plate.
