G l o s s a r y
ABS
Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene.
AeroBioCollector or
Air sampler
Air IDEAL
®
3P™ Traceability,
instrument used to collect and count viable bacterial and
fungal particles in a known and precise volume of air.
CFU
Number of Colony Forming Units read on the agar plate.
The number of CFU corresponds to the number of clusters that have grown on the agar.
Delayed start-up
Time between pressing the
START
button and the motor starting up.
Li-ion
Lithium ion
MPN
Most Probable Number of micro-organisms collected. Statistical correction of the CFU
value (FELLER’s law).
PVDF
Polyvinylidene fluoride.
Ra coefficient
Roughness factor of a surface. It is the arithmetic mean of all profile deviations, positive or
negative, compared to the mean line.

Sampling grid
Perforated and calibrated plastic device. The number of orifices, their diameter and
arrangement, guarantee a CFU count (positive clusters) and a flow of air corresponding to
the motor setting.
