Introduction
ActiveCount100 Basics
Monitoring air for live microorganisms is essential when manufacturing hygiene-sensitive products in
safe and sterile environments, such as:

Pharmaceutical, hospital, food & beverage

Cleanrooms, biological safety cabinets, isolators

IAQ indoor air quality, museums, libraries

Cosmetics, textiles, agricultural, environment

Additional aseptic environment monitoring applications
Microorganisms have the potential to contaminate industrial products and harm human health.
ActiveCount100 is a high-performance instrument that uses a well-known method, impaction, to
aspirate air through a perforated plate and deposit airborne bacteria onto an agar-coated petri dish.
The petri dish is then removed, incubated, and tested for live microorganisms.
