Description:
Staplex® Model MBS-6 and MBS-6A Six Stage Microbial Air Samplers are multi-orifice, cascade impactors used to measure the concentration and particle size distribution of aerobic bacteria and fungi in the intramural or ambient air. These units have been widely used for enumerating the viable particles in a microbial aerosol. Viable particles can be collected on a variety of bacteriological agar and incubated in situ for counting or identification. These samplers are designed so that all particles collected, regardless of physical size, shape, or density are sized aerodynamically and can be directly related to human lung deposition.
The multi-orifice cascade impactor size selective feature permits assessment of an airborne contaminant in relation to its disease potential arising from its deposition site within the respiratory tract.
The Staplex® MBS-6 and MBS-6A requires 12 glass Petri dishes. and a general purpose, solid bacteriological agar medium ( not included) , which is placed in six of the glass Petri dishes. The collection plate with Petri dishes are inserted on each stage of the sampling instrument and a sample of air is drawn. The petri dishes are then removed, inverted in their covers, incubated and counted by an accepted method.
Range of particle sizes collected by each stage ( in microns)
Stage 1 7.0 and above
Stage 2 4.7 to 7.0
Stage 3 3.3 to 4.7
Stage 4 2.1 to 3.3
Stage 5 1.1 to 2.1
Stage 6 0.65 to 1.1
Staplex® MBS-6 Six Stage Microbial Air Sampler digunakan untuk mengukur konsentrasi dan distribusi ukuran partikel bakteri aerobik dan jamur di udara intramural atau ambien. Unit-unit ini telah banyak digunakan untuk enumerasi partikel layak dalam aerosol mikroba. Partikel layak dapat dikumpulkan pada berbagai bakteriologis agar-agar dan diinkubasi di situ untuk menghitung atau identifikasi. Samplers ini dirancang sehingga semua partikel dikumpulkan, terlepas dari ukuran fisik, bentuk, atau kepadatan yang berukuran aerodinamis dan dapat langsung berhubungan dengan deposisi paru-paru manusia.
