For over 16 years, the SMA Atrium has been the chosen test method of many pharmaceutical and biotechnology organizations for determining the level of existent microbial contaminants in their manufacturing operations.

Features:

• Can be completely sterilized by steam, heat or ETO
• Constructed of 316L Stainless Steel
• Durable and low maintenance
• 4 ½" in diameter by 1 ½" in height
• Compact size allows the sampling device to be located near filling processes where space is limited
• Reports accurately the air quality near fill areas and reduce false positives from operators
• Operates at an air flow of 1 cubic foot per minute (1CFM)
• Designed to provide a tortuous path that air must travel, which assures a 95% capture efficiency of 0.5 micron particles and larger
• 12 top orifices available in ½", ¼" and 3 / 32 " provide the ability to sample for varying time periods
  • Top orifice size is dependent upon the desired exposure time versus desiccation of the nutrient media
  • 3/32" top orifice allows a maximum 60 minute exposure time
  • ¼" and ½" top orifices allow up to 3 hours of exposure time (dependent upon conditions)

• Utilizes a 100 mm plate filled to either 25mL or 32mL of nutrient media (common fill levels from most suppliers)
  • The 25mL fill provides the ability to sample up to 90 minutes on one agar plate
  • The 32mL fill provides the ability to sample up to 3 hours on one agar plate (dependent upon conditions)
• Requires only a vacuum source to operate
  • Sources can be either central vacuum systems or one of the VAI 1 thru 10 location control centers
