In some instances the use of the SMA Remote Atrium may be necessary when the size of the SMA Atrium, while small, may be too large to fit into a location deemed critical to be tested for microbial contaminants.

Features:

• Designed with one extension tube protruding from the top that serves as a connection point for either disposable tubing or stainless steel connections
• Able to be located away from the point of sample
• Can be completely sterilized via 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
• Integrates a 3/8” ID connection that easily attaches to pre-sterilized tubing
• 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 2 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
