Microbiological sampling provides insights into contamination levels and helps detect deviations before they become serious threats.

Here’s a detailed look at the key microbiological sampling techniques that are vital for a comprehensive environmental monitoring (EM) program:

Microbial Environment Monitoring by Active Air Sampling

Unlike settled plates, active air samplers actively draw in a defined volume of air and impact it onto a nutrient agar surface. This method provides quantitative results expressed as colony-forming units per cubic meter (CFU/m³).

Best For:

• Cleanrooms and sterile zones

• GMP-compliant facilities

Advantages:

• Accurate and controlled air volume

• Suitable for high-risk areas

Final Thoughts
