Microbial Air Sampler NMAS-300 – Laboratory & Cleanroom Monitoring


What is a Microbial Air Sampler NMAS-300?

 Microbial Air Sampler NMAS-300 is an air monitoring instrument designed to detect and quantify airborne microorganisms in controlled environments.

It is used to ensure air quality control in industries where contamination risks must be strictly managed.


Why is it Important? 

Microbial air monitoring is essential because airborne microorganisms can:

  • Contaminate sterile pharmaceutical products

  • Cause batch failure in manufacturing

  • Compromise patient safety in healthcare environments

  • Lead to regulatory non-compliance

 Microbial Air Sampler NMAS-300 helps maintain:

  • Controlled environmental air quality

  • Regulatory compliance (ISO & GMP)

  • Product sterility assurance


What is it Used For? 

 Microbial Air Sampler NMAS-300 is used for:

  • Cleanroom environmental monitoring

  • Pharmaceutical manufacturing quality control

  • Biotechnology laboratory validation

  • Food safety and hygiene monitoring

  • Hospital sterile environment monitoring

  • Environmental microbial testing


How Does Microbial Air Sampler NMAS-300 Work? 

Air is drawn at a controlled and adjustable flow rate

  1. Air passes through sterile agar plates, filters, or impingers

  2. Microorganisms are captured on collection media

  3. Media is incubated under controlled laboratory conditions

  4. Microbial colonies are counted as CFU

  5. Results are used for contamination assessment and reporting


Core Functional Capabilities

  • Adjustable airflow control (50–500 L/min)

  • Compatible with agar plates, filters, and impingers

  • Digital interface for monitoring parameters

  • Portable and compact design

  • High repeatability and sampling accuracy

  • Supports ISO 14698 and GMP compliance
