The BioTrak Particle Counter is a full-featured instrument that detects the total number of particles in the air as well as determining which of those particles are viable in nature.
Additionally, the BioTrak Particle Counter incorporates a particle collection filter so that the optically analysed particles are collected and available for subsequent speciation analysis.
The product falls into a class of instruments known as Rapid Microbiology Methods (RMM) that have garnered significant interest over the past several years.
RMM techniques are said to offer significant potential benefits to manufacturing spaces concerned with environmental microbiological contamination.
The key differentiation that the BioTrak Particle Counters offer is the ability to detect the presence of viable particles in real time compared with the traditional active air sampling and compendial culture-based counting methods that require two to four days of incubation and analysis.
