ECMD or VAI's Environmental Control Monitoring Division has addressed the needs of the Pharmaceutical, Biotechnology, Semi-Conductor, and Electronics industries by designing a complete range of air testing equipment that addresses viable air sampling and the contamination levels of products deemed suitable for clean room operations.

VAI's ECMD manufactures the SMA Microbial Air Sampler Systems, the Helmke-Yeich (H-Y) Tumble Drum Tester and the VTC Variable Temperature Controller.

The SMA Microbial Air Sampler Systems are designed to test air within the clean room setting for discerning the level of viable contamination that is present in a volume of air. As one of the premier sampling methods in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries for over 11 years, the SMA Micro Sampler Systems offer a complete range of products to meet all requirements for quantitative microbial air testing. The SMA Systems include the SMA Atrium, SMA Remote Sampler, SMA Compressed Air Sampler, SMA CC Control Centers, SMA ISO-CC Control Centers and the SMA MicroPortable.

The SMA Atrium and Control Centers with OneTouch Command Systems features provide the ability to test multi-locations and incorporate a facility wide monitoring system. Outlined in the pages to follow, the SMA Micro Sampler Systems and SMA One Touch Command Systems are available in models that test from one (1) to ten (10) locations. The SMA ISO-CC Control Centers are designed for use with isolators or barrier systems and incorporate OneTouch Command System features for testing 1 to 10 locations simultaneously or independently.

In addition to our facility monitoring systems, the SMA Micro-Portable is a battery operated unit that provides portability for the testing of viable airborne contaminates. The SMA Compressed Air Sampler with portable and stationary devices to assist in delineating the microbial levels of compressed air and gas systems.

ECMD also manufactures the H-Y Tumble Drum Tester. The H-Y Tumble Drum Tester is a recommended method for testing and disseminating the inherent contamination levels of products deemed suitable for the controlled environment by the Institute of Environmental Sciences RP3.

ECMD's VTC Controller provides for the evaluation of particulates within a volume of air from high temperature applications up to 1250°F. These products are described on the following pages.
