The Air-O-Cell is a unique sampling cassette specifically designed for the rapid collection and quantitative analysis of a wide range of airborne aerosols. It collects both viable and non-viable particulate such as mould spores, pollen, insect parts, skin cell fragments, fibres (asbestos, fibreglass, cellulose, etc.) and inorganic particles.
Provides excellent detection limits over conventional filter sampling utilising 25 mm or 37 mm diameter filter cassettes.
Eliminates the need for direct handling or preparation of collection media or microscope slides in the field.
Eliminates potential cross-contamination between samples and during shipping that may occur with other devices.
The Air-O-Cell will work with virtually any kind of sampling pump capable of pulling a 15 lpm (vacuum) airflow.

Description
Indoor Air Quality: Mould spores, pollen, insect parts, dust mites, skin cell fragments, plant fragments, dust, fibres, combustion emissions, etc.
Home Inspection: Mould Contamination before of after real estate transactions.
Flood Restoration: Evaluation of mould spore contamination before, during, and after remediation.
Clean Room Monitoring: Evaluation of low airborne dust and contaminants from personnel (skin cells, clothing fibres, cosmetics, etc.)
Fibres Analysis: Asbestos, fibreglass, cellulose, ceramics, etc.
Stack Emissions: Fly ash, inorganic dust, etc.
The Air-O-Cell sampler is designed to operate at an optimal flow rate of 15 litres per minute. The user can employ any sampling pump capable of a minimum flow rate of 15 lpm. It is also capable of operating in any vertical or horizontal orientation, or in restricted access spaces smaller than 2 inches in diameter. As a result, the Air-O-Cell is ideally suited for sampling in HVAC ducts, plenums, wall cavities, or other confined spaces.
To begin sampling, remove the tape seals covering the inlet and outlet and placed them on the side of the cassette. Then connect the Air-O-Cell cassette to the sampling pump using flexible tubing. Turn the sampling pump on for an appropriate sample time ranging from 1 to 10 minutes and both seals replaced after sampling is complete. Unlike other spore trap impaction or filter devices, the Air-O-Cell cassette can be oriented in any vertical or horizontal direction, without concern for sample loss of large particles or vibration. “Outdoor background” samples should always be collected for comparison purposes.
Analysis of the collected sample should be performed by an experienced Environmental Microscopist. Counting and quantify the cation of sample components is conducted by counting calibrated cross-sections of the deposited sample trace. The number and type of particles counted per cubic meter of air is calculated based on the length of the deposition trace, length of trace actually examined, the volume of air collected, and the number of particles counted.
Very professional understanding of our requirement needs, a pleasure to work with them all. Flexible on time, dates is a key performance that we like to do business with. The service was to the high standard that we required.
