BioCapt® Single-Use Microbial Impactor (BCSU)

Model: BioCapt Single-Use

Booth No: N/A

Characteristic

The BioCapt® Single-Use Microbial Impactor from Particle Measuring Systems is an innovative active air sampling solution designed for cleanrooms and critical aseptic manufacturing environments. By integrating the culture media plate and sampling head into one sterile, ready-to-use unit, it minimizes contamination risks and false-positive results caused by operator handling. It can be used with both portable and continuous monitoring systems for remote sampling applications.

BioCapt® Single-Use is a fully prepared disposable unit pre-filled with culture media, eliminating the need for agar plate preparation, cleaning, sanitization, and sterilization processes. Each set is double-bagged and gamma irradiated, reducing contamination risks when introduced into critical cleanroom environments.

The unit features a 20-slit radial inlet design for isokinetic sampling, minimizing airflow turbulence and maximizing microorganism recovery. It complies with ISO 14698-1 and is recommended for sampling at 25–50 LPM. Validation studies confirm effective microorganism recovery under stressed conditions after more than 2 hours of continuous air sampling at 25 LPM.

BioCapt® Single-Use is ideal for continuous microbial monitoring in isolators, RABS, and ISO Class 5 / GMP Grade A critical areas, serving as a reliable replacement for traditional settle plates. The simplified three-step process—remove from packaging, install, and sample—greatly reduces operator-induced contamination and investigation costs.

Available with TSA or SDA media, as well as neutralizers and Lactamator®, BioCapt® Single-Use is suitable for environments with disinfectants or antibiotics, making it an ideal solution for aseptic pharmaceutical manufacturing and critical control point monitoring.
