Agar is mostly water. That fact sets the ceiling on continuous viable air monitoring. Hold a plate open for the full duration of critical processing and the medium dries out and stops supporting growth, which is why every device carries a validated exposure limit that rarely matches a real production shift. A global survey of BioCapt Single-Use users across three regions asked how they are closing that gap. The findings cover the temperature and humidity windows that hold up, the flow rate that quietly costs you exposure time, and the one parameter that turns out not to matter at all.
