SAS Super80 Impaction Microbial Air Sampler for Controlled Environments

The SAS Super80 is an impaction-type microbial air sampler designed for precise environmental monitoring in biotechnology and pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities. This compact unit draws a defined volume of air through a specialized sampling head, impacting airborne microorganisms onto agar contact plates or standard Petri dishes for colony enumeration. It is widely used for airborne microbial contamination assessment in cleanrooms, hospitals, and other controlled environments essential for bioprocessing and molecular diagnostics.

Key features include:

• High airflow capacity for efficient sampling of large air volumes in minimal time, critical for regulated production areas
• Various sampling head materials (aluminum, stainless steel, resin) compatible with different plate types, maximizing flexibility
• Strong data traceability and capture capabilities to support regulatory compliance and quality assurance in biomanufacturing pipelines
• Longstanding reliability with a mature global support ecosystem, underscoring its adoption since the late 1970s in synthetic biology and biomedical engineering research
• Essential for monitoring airborne microbial loads in the biotechnology industry, supporting critical workflows such as gene editing laboratory environments and synthetic biology research facilities

The SAS Super80 is a proven solution widely adopted in molecular biology, clinical diagnostics, and biomedical engineering applications where precise airborne contamination control is vital.
