AirPrep™  Samplers Meet ISO 4 through 7 Cleanroom Standards

AirPrep™ Samplers Meet ISO 4 through 7 Cleanroom Standards

This advancement is thanks to the AirPrep dry electret samplers, including the Bobcat and Cub air samplers, that uses N95-like filters, proven to prevent contamination in cleanrooms unlike liquid, gelatin, and agar-based samplers. Additionally, the tested...

Does Collection Time Bias the Ecology of Cleanroom Air Samples?

Does Collection Time Bias the Ecology of Cleanroom Air Samples?

Given the value and sensitivity of the astromaterial samples, agar and liquid-based samplers are avoided to prevent contamination and false positives in life detection tests. Instead, they used the AirPrep Bobcat...
