A compressed air sampler is an instrument used to collect and analyze contaminants such as particles, microorganisms, and gases from pressurized air systems.
It ensures compressed air quality, contamination control, and regulatory compliance.
compressed air sampler measure:
Microbial contamination
Particulate matter
Chemical contaminants (e.g., oil, VOCs)
Results help verify air purity in critical processes.
A portion of compressed air is diverted from the system
Air pressure and flow are regulated
Air passes through a collection medium (filter, agar, etc.)
Contaminants are captured
Samples are analyzed for microbial or particulate content
Controlled sampling ensures accurate representation of air quality.
Pharmaceutical contamination control
Cleanroom air quality validation
Food processing air monitoring
Industrial compressed air inspection
Regulatory compliance verification
Pharmaceutical and biotech manufacturing
Food and beverage processing
Cleanroom and aseptic production
Environmental testing labs
Industrial quality control
Precise airflow control
Compatibility with microbial and particulate media
Digital pressure and flow monitoring
Portable and compact design
Hygienic and sterilizable components
Flow rate: 100–200 L/min
Pressure tolerance: up to 10 bar
Sampling volume: application-based
