SKC 225-9611
The SKC BioStage® variable cascade impactor meets NIOSH requirements and ACGIH recommendations for sampling indoor and outdoor mold and bacteria. The BioStage® comprises an inlet cone, precision-drilled 400-hole impactor stage, and a base that holds a standard-size agar plate. A high flow pump, such as the QuickTake 30, pills mircoorganisms in air through the holes (jets) where they are collected on the agar surface. Testing demonstrates that BioStage provides performance equivalent to the industry-standard Anderson N-6. What sets BioStage apart from other smaplers is its sureLock positive seal (instead of bulky spring clamps) that ensures sample integrity.
