BIOTRAK(TM) real-time viable particle counter

The BIOTRAK Particle Counter is a full-featured instrument that detects the total number of particles in the air as well as determines which of those particles are viable in nature. Additionally, the BIOTRAK Particle Counter incorporates a particle collection filter so the optically analyzed particles are collected and available for subsequent speciation analysis.

The BIOTRAK Particle Counter falls into a class of instruments known as Rapid Microbiology Methods (RMM) that have garnered significant interest over the past several years. RMM techniques offer significant potential benefits to manufacturing spaces concerned with environmental microbiological contamination. The key differentiation that the BIOTRAK Particle Counters offer is the ability to detect the presence of viable particles in real time compared to the traditional active air sampling and compendial culture based count methods that require 2 to 4 days of incubation and analysis.
