The Avantor VWR SAS Super DUO 360 Air Sampler, Petri Dishes (PBIB90718) is a portable microbiological air sampler with two aspirating heads operating simultaneously. Designed for Petri-dish-based environmental monitoring, it has a listed flow rate of 180 L/min and can sample 1,000 L of air in less than three minutes.
Key Features
- Two aspirating heads in one portable body, enabling simultaneous microbiological air sampling
- Dedicated Petri dish configuration, identified specifically for workflows using Petri dishes
- Fast 180 L/min sampling rate, supporting efficient collection in low-contamination environments
- Rapid high-volume sampling, collecting 1,000 L of air in less than three minutes
- Flexible same-media sampling, allowing matching media to be used in both heads for statistically representative results
- Simultaneous mixed-media sampling, allowing different media to be used during the same sampling cycle
- Dual microbiological monitoring capability, supporting TSA or PCA for total bacterial counts and SDA for yeasts and moulds
- Multiple sampling-head material options, including aluminium, stainless steel and certified ready-to-use plastic
- USB-based documentation, with manuals supplied on a USB key
- Multilingual operating guidance, with the instruction manual available in six languages
- Recognised environmental monitoring references, with ISO 14698 and USP Chapter 1116 Pharmacopoeia listed by the supplier
Note: A complete system requires the sampler, a battery charger and the appropriate sampling head to be ordered separately.
Benefits
- Reduces the time required for high-volume microbiological air monitoring in busy laboratories and controlled environments.
- Provides greater confidence in sampling results by allowing identical media to be run simultaneously.
- Enables bacterial, yeast and mould monitoring during one sampling cycle when different media are fitted.
- Improves workflow efficiency where contamination levels are low and many samples must be collected.
- Provides flexibility to select sampling-head materials suited to the laboratory's monitoring procedure.
- Simplifies operation and staff training through USB-based, multilingual documentation.
