s/s TRIO.SETTLE floor plate stand – size: base diam. 25 x 110H cm.
Passive sampling, combined with active sampling, is recognized by regulatory organizations as useful in assessing the microbial quality of the air environment.
The settle method is applied with the culture plate in a horizontal or inclined position, according to the direction of the unidirectional air flow. In a horizontal position, air flow may be obstructed creating a slight turbulence over the surface of agar which could deviate the viable particles from the agar’s surface.
A slanted position of the Petri dish allows the air to hit the agar surface and pass by without disturbance. TRIO.SETTLE is an articulate device developed to standardize, test, and enumerate the presence of microorganisms when applying the passive air monitoring, or settling plate, method.
Passive air sampling provides a quantitative analysis of airborne microorganisms deposited onto the surface of an agar plate over a period of exposure.
TRIO.SETTLE can be fixed on a tripod or other floor support devices. TRIO.SETTLE is fabricated from AISI 316 stainless steel and fully autoclavable.
Validated according to “EN 17141”.
