Active Air Sampling
Description
Active Air Sampling is a proactive approach to assess microbial contamination in controlled environments such as cleanrooms, manufacturing areas, and laboratories. Unlike passive monitoring, which relies on settling plates to capture airborne microorganisms, active monitoring actively samples the environment using air samplers, impactors, or filtration devices to quantify viable microorganisms in the air.
This method is commonly applied to:
Cleanrooms and sterile production areas
Monitoring air quality and hygiene practices
Key Benefits:
Real-time detection of airborne microorganisms
Early identification of contamination risks
Supports regulatory compliance and quality assurance
Enables informed decision-making for cleaning and process controls
