Compressed Air and Sampling: Monitoring Your Compressed Air

Pneumatics and SamplingMonitoring of pharmaceutical facility air and compressed air pipelines for microbial contaminants is of utmost importance. While air sampling and other quality procedures are clearly required, regulatory standards require that air/compressed air systems used for manufacturing operations (e.g., product ejection, coating, exhaust, etc.) be subjected to regular quality testing, with the same level of quality monitoring. The best tool for microbial testing of air/compressed air systems is a properly designed microbial air sampler.

 

RCG Confined Space Sampler

At Universallab.us, we have extensive experience designing air sampling equipment that is easy to use, accurate, and reliable. We understand that air monitoring is a critical and essential component of your Quality System, and that it can impact the daily production of quality products. Without the right equipment, your tests may be compromised, or worse, your products may be at risk of contamination.

That’s why we developed the RCG compressed air and gas sampler. It’s a compressed air/gas monitoring system designed to recover microorganisms from these critical production systems, and it delivers reliable results. The RCG is a remote slit-to-agar impaction sampler so compact that it can be used as an ambient air sampler (e.g., the R2S, or RCG Confined Space Sampler) in areas where most other air samplers can’t or shouldn’t be placed.

Some of the RCG’s technical specifications include:

• Rugged construction: 316 stainless steel/aluminum material
• Simple cleaning and high durability: Clear polycarbonate dome with inlet assembly
• Portable and convenient: 4 lb weight, 7.5” x 5” diameter
• Flexible sampling: Monitors 0-40 minutes per cycle
• Fast sampling: Operates at 50 and 100 LPM for compressed air/gas testing
• Works in conjunction with the EMTEK Bacterial High Pressure Diffuser

Compressed air monitoring is a delicate science that requires only the best equipment. Our air sampling equipment is the best in the industry, backed by an excellent support team and a commitment that every product we create will exceed your expectations.
