YOUR PARTNER IN ENVIRONMENTAL MICROBIOLOGY The very familiar yellow SAS (Surface Air System)” is considered
the international standard for portable air microbiological
samplers. Over 25 years experience has been gained in five
continents helping microbiologists in the pharmaceutical and food
industry, hospital sector and indoor air quality fields. Experience
has also been gained from space exploration as the SAS (Surface Air
System) was used on board the International Space station. This
knowledge has resulted in the development of the new SAS-ISO 100”
and SAS-ISO 180”. THE BASIC IDEA To use a simple plate for air and surface sampling To have the additional flexibility of choice, either Contact plates
or Petri dishes To apply cGLP and cGMP to air sampling operations To establish data on the microbial level in selected environments To organise sequential sampling to obtain a more representative air
sample under actual operating conditions The SAS ISO” has the following new features: Performance in compliance with ISO 14698-1 Large LCD with illuminated touch panel All operator commands via touch keypad for easier cleaning Over 70.000 litres of air / 8 hours autonomy Infrared transfer of sampling data to PC or printer Up to 300 sampling cycles memorised USP chapter < 1116 > and 21-CFR 11 Compliance Sampling rate accurately maintained by speed sensor-incorrect
aspiration aborts cycle Design avoids turbulence in unidirectional air flow and
re-aspiration of tested air in accordance with ISO specifications Total traceability Bi-directional port to input and output data to a central unit from
1 to 24 samplers Calibration system by finger-tip control without opening the
instrument Automatic calibration reminder Easy calibration monitoring with additional anemometer system Sampler can be operated whilst attached to mains Established yellow SAS (Surface Air System) features and
performances are maintained: Possibility to use 55 mm or 84 mm Contact plates (RODAC) and
standard disposable 90 mm Pri dishes Interval sampling with fully programmable parameters for in
operation” monitoring Delay Start of up to 60 minutes Infrared remote control (optional extra) Certified aspirating head in aluminium or stainless steel Multiple language choice Reduced sampling time (six or ten minutes for 1000 litres of air) Suitability in isolator Plus a worldwide service and support network which includes: International PBI is the only company with its own microbiological
wind tunnel to test the air samplers from a microbial point of view Complete validation documentation available to help the local
validation process Product specialists provide on-site training and certification of
personnel for the proper usage of the air samplers Official factory calibration in Milan performed in 48 hours Over 100 Application Notes Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) I.Q., O.Q., P. Q. documentation or on-site activation
