The MicroBio MB2-RSH isolator microbial air sampler has a host of features making it ideal for use in sealed compartments, research, clean rooms, pharmaceutical validation and throughout hospitals.
With 100 L/min and 180 L/min flow rate models available, options for 90 mm Petri Dish (400 and 220 hole head versions) or 55 mm contact plates (only 220 hole head version), readily available at low cost with a variety of media makes the MicroBio a very low cost instrument to use. The MicroBio MB2-RSH is an invaluable device for validating isolator cabinets, sealed compartments and rooms.
The MicroBio MB2-RSH-HiFlow Bioaerosol Sampler has all the features of the tried and trusted MicroBio MB2-RSH model, but with the added advantage of sampling at a rate of 180 litres per minute, nearly halving the time to take a sample. The time to sample a cubic meter of air is reduced from 10 minutes to 6 minutes.
