Q1: What is a Floating Bacteria Sampler?

A Floating Bacteria Sampler is a portable device used to collect airborne microorganisms from the environment, especially in cleanrooms, laboratories, and pharmaceutical production areas.

In simple terms, it actively pulls air through a sampling head, allowing bacteria and microorganisms in the air to settle onto agar plates for later analysis.

It is a core tool for environmental monitoring in regulated industries.

Q2: Why is airborne bacteria sampling important?

Airborne microorganisms are one of the biggest contamination risks in:

• Pharmaceutical manufacturing

• Aseptic filling areas

• Medical device cleanrooms

• Microbiology laboratories

Using a portable floating bacteria sampler allows operators to monitor air quality in real time and verify compliance with GMP and ISO cleanroom standards.

Q3: How does a floating bacteria sampler work?

The device draws air at a controlled flow rate (such as 100 L/min or 200 L/min) through a precision sampling head with evenly distributed holes.

Key features that simplify operation:

• 5-inch color touch screen for intuitive control

• SOP modes for standardized sampling

• 300-hole aluminum sampling head, with optional stainless steel (SUS316L) for higher cleanliness requirements

This makes it ideal for floating bacteria sampler for cleanroom monitoring.

Q4: How does it support data integrity and compliance?

Modern cleanroom environments require strict data control.

This sampler is designed as an air sampler compliant with 21 CFR Part 11, featuring:

• Electronic signature

• Audit trail and tracking

• Level 4 permission management

• 16GB internal memory for long-term data storage

These functions make it suitable as a floating bacteria sampler with electronic signature for pharmaceutical audits.

Q5: Can it be used for remote or unattended sampling?

Yes.

With an optional remote sampling module and external charger, the system supports flexible placement and long sampling sessions.

Additional benefits include:

• Self-diagnosis of flow, communication, and power faults

• Optional Bluetooth printer

• Reliable operation during extended environmental monitoring campaigns

This makes it a reliable solution for GMP cleanroom air sampling equipment setups.

Q6: How do I choose the right floating bacteria sampler?

For beginners, focus on four key factors:

1. Flow rate accuracy (100 L/min or 200 L/min ±2.5%)

2. Compliance (21 CFR Part 11, electronic records)

3. Data storage and traceability

4. Ease of use and portability

If your facility operates under regulatory audits, selecting a compliant Floating Bacteria Sampler significantly reduces inspection risks.
