MD8 Airscan® monitors ambient air in cleanrooms and controlled areas in the (c)GMP environment for viable microorganisms.

The MD8 Airscan® provides non-stop active air monitoring for at least 8 hours, using only one single gelatin membrane filter. Rule out false negative results; the proprietary, USP-approved filter retains even the smallest airborne microorganisms and monitors viability at the most accurate level.
