The
SAS range has been at the forefront of portable microbial samplers for over 30 years. Originally developed in Milan, Italy, the units are now sold world wide. The standard units use readily available Contact (RODAC) plates thereby avoiding costly, specialist consumables. An alternative Petri dish version is now also available.
The current product range includes 4 portable units; SAS IAQ,
SAS Super 100, SAS Super 180 and Duo 360. The SAS IAQ is a lower cost option for office and HVAC monitoring. The SAS Super units are primarily aimed at the clean room user for environmental monitoring. The SAS Super 180 offers a high sampling rate of 180 litres per minute and completes a cubic metre in under 6 minutes.
The SAS Duo 360 has two sampling heads, each sampling 180 litres per minute. This allows a bacterial or total viable count (TVC) plate and fungal plate to be run simultaneously. The benefit is significantly reduced monitoring time.
