The MAS-100 Sirius® Air Sampler is a precision instrument de designed for viable air sampling in high-grade cleanrooms used across pharmaceutical manufacturing environments. It collects ambient air samples, depositing any microbial contaminants onto a Petri dish with culture medium for subsequent incubation and colony growth. This ensures reliable assessment of microbial quality as part of environmental monitoring programs.
Features and Benefits
MAS-100 Sirius® Air Sampler provides unmatched reliabili ty, compliance readiness, and ease of use. Developed through decades of engineering expertise and microbiological experiexperiencesystem is built to align with GMP regulatory requirerequirementsg it easier for facilities to maintain compliance during inspections.
Ease of operation is central to its design. Operators can select either 100 or 200 liters per minute of airflow, with the higher rate cutting sampling time in half while preserving collection efficiency. The instrument features a magnetic lid closure for simple handlin, a glove-friendly touch screen interface, and a robust stainless steel housing that is easy to disinfect and compatible with a wide range of cleaning agents. Even the instrument’s internal components can be effectively decontaminated, including in VHP chambers, while the blower remains operational.
The system incorporates advanced safeguards to deliver accurate and consistent results. Dual mass flow sensors and automated leak testing continuously verify system performance and alert the user to any deviations. Self-check functions provide immediate warnings if critical components, such as the HEPA exhaust filter correct lid type, are not in place. The HEPA exhaust filter itself prevents cross-contamination when the device is transferred between cleanroom grades, offering additional protection for sensitive environments.
Designed for today’s digital quality control laboratories, the MAS-100 Sirius® Air Sampler integrates seamlessly with data management systems. Browser-managed software that complies with 21 CFR Part 11 supports audit trails, data integrity, and secure user logins. Results can be transferred directly into LIMS or environmental monitoring systems using barcode functionality, while an optional Wi-Fi module enables smooth integration into existing network infrastructures. Independent validation of sampling efficiency, ISO 17025-accredited calibration of flow rates, and automated time synchronization through an NTP connection further ensure compliance and reliability.
Applications
The MAS-100 Sirius® Air Sampler is an essential tool for active air sampling in cleanrooms used for pharmaceutical production. Its combination of ease of use, accuracy, compliance readiness, and digital connectivity makes it ideally suited for environmental monitoring programs, where ongoing microbial control is critical for product quality and patient safety.
