How your microbial air sampler keeps your work(place) safe
The Microbiologique Air Sampler is an easy tool for monitoring airborne microbial contamination in controlled environments like labs, cleanrooms, and production areas.
This air sampler helps you identify, catalog, and treat microbial threats that could compromise your products or research.
Here’s how your portable air sampler works:
- It pulls in air from the surrounding environment and passes it through a controlled airflow system to capture an accurate sample of airborne particles.
- As the air flows through the sampler, any viable microbes present in the air are collected on a specific collection medium designed for microbial growth. We recommend Easygel Media, which are a much lower cost than other methods.
- Remove the plate with the media and incubate it.
- You know the rest.
Routine air sampling with the Microbiologique Air Sampler helps you stay compliant and avoid contamination (the risk of recalls, the risk of wasted time and energy).
Air sampler calibration and maintenance is worth the time and effort
Accuracy is everything. If you want to rely on the results your microbiological delivers, here’s what you need to know.
Why should you calibrate regularly?
Over time, environmental factors and regular use can cause measurements to become less reliable. Sensitive instruments need to be treated sensitively.
- Regular calibration keeps your measurements accurate and protects you in the case of an audit.
- Calibration involves comparing the readings from your air sampler with known standards to ensure it is performing within acceptable limits.
- Weber Scientific offers affordable calibration services to make sure your viable air sampler does what you need it to do, accurately.

Maintenance tips for your air sampler
You can take care of routine maintenance weekly. It will reduce the quality drift between calibrations at our lab.
Thoroughly wipe the vessel cover, inside and out.
Clean around the intake with your regular lab wipes.
If you use a filter, replace at every use.
After cleaning, do a quick once over for wear.
Recalibrate every 6 months.
Extend the life of your microbial air sampler
With proper maintenance and regular calibration, your Microbiologique Air Sampler can provide reliable air quality monitoring for years. To make the process easier, Weber Scientific offers full calibration and maintenance services, helping you reduce downtime and keep your instrument in perfect working order.
Where the Microbiologique air sampler protects people, processes, and products
The Microbiologique air sampler is designed for use in environments where monitoring microbial contamination is essential to maintaining compliance and ensuring product safety. Below are some of the most common industries and settings that benefit from reliable air sampling for microbial detection.
Pharmaceutical manufacturing
In pharmaceutical production, maintaining sterile environments is critical to the quality of products and patient safety. It’s a matter of compliance.. A microbiological air sampler helps maintain compliance and avoid product recalls (and the hit to revenue and reputation).
Uses:
- Monitoring environmental air quality.
- Testing in production facilities for sterile injectables and oral solids.
- Ensuring compliance with GMP and other regulatory standards.
Food and beverage production
If you’re going to be compliant, you’re going to need tight control over environmental contaminants, including airborne microbes. The Microbiologique portable air sampler is a low cost, key tool to keep an eye on air quality in food processing plants, helping prevent contamination that could lead to product recalls (lost revenue), spoilage (lost revenue), or regulatory penalties (lost brand revenue).
Uses:
- Air monitoring in food processing plants.
- Ensuring compliance with HACCP protocols.
- Verifying clean air in packaging areas to prevent microbial contamination.
Environmental monitoring
For research labs and environmental testing facilities, air sampling is vital to assessing the microbial load in outdoor and indoor environments. The Microbiologique Air Sampler provides accurate results that help researchers and regulatory agencies make data-driven decisions regarding environmental safety.
Uses:
- Monitoring air quality in research labs.
- Collecting data on microbial loads in public or industrial areas.
- Environmental assessments for regulatory reporting.
Cleanrooms and sterile environments
The use of air samplers is mandatory in controlled environments like cleanrooms, where microbial contamination could affect sensitive production processes or research outcomes. The Microbiologique Air Sampler is ideal for maintaining these sterile spaces and validating the safety of products or experiments.
Uses:
- Monitoring air quality in research labs.
- Ensuring microbial levels are within acceptable limits for sterile manufacturing.
- Validating air quality for audits and compliance reviews.
Cosmetics manufacturing
Similar to pharmaceuticals, cosmetics manufacturing must maintain a sterile environment to prevent contamination in products. Air quality monitoring ensures bacteria or fungi are not introduced into the product at any stage of production.
Uses:
- Air monitoring in cosmetic production lines.
- Testing to comply with ISO standards for cleanliness.
- Ensuring quality control in packaging and bottling areas.
By deploying the Microbiologique air sampler in your workplace, you can maintain compliance, prevent contamination, and protect your products from microbial risks.
