The MD8 Airscan® from Sartorius uses only one gelatin membrane filter to offer continuous active air monitoring for at least eight hours. Eliminate false negatives with the innovative, USP-approved filter, which captures even the tiny airborne microorganisms and accurately checks viability.
MD8 Airscan® offers convenient and continuous monitoring like no other.
New Webinar: Annex I impacts on microbial air monitoring
Annex I stipulates that environmental monitoring methods must not be contaminated. In that case, how can businesses achieve air monitoring while being compliant?

Connect users’ MD8 Airscan® command unit directly with the YDP30 printer
To fulfill the demands of the pharmaceutical business, there is an RS-232 interface connection for connecting with a thermal transfer printer.
Choose sampling head based on users’ requirements
Install the MD8 Airscan® as an integrated device in the lab’s air-line using the stainless-steel tri-clamp connector. Alternatively, utilize the stainless-steel bayonet connector to operate the item as a stand-alone benchtop unit.
