N6 Air Sampler for Indoor Air Quality
Anderson N6 Single Stage Bioaerosol Sampler

The purpose of the Anderson N6 single stage sampler is to separate organisms from the air in order to conduct a culturable assay to assess the quality of air.  The Anderson N6  single stage sampler is generally considered the "gold standard" for collection of culturable air samples and is available for rental from U.S. Micro-Solutions, Inc. 

The N6 is comprised of an aluminum inlet cone, sampling stage, and a base plate held together by three spring clamps and sealed with o-ring gaskets. The sampling stage has 400 precision machined orifices.

The collection and assessment of aerosol samples is very simple. A petri dish containing an agar medium appropriate for the microorganisms which may be encountered is placed in the instrument and a sample of air is drawn. The petri dish is then removed, shipped to our laboratory, incubated, and counted by our trained analysts.
  • Meets A.C.G.I.H. bioaerosol committee recommendations concerning sampling protocol and analytical procedures
  • Utilizes standard 100x15mm disposable plastic petri dishes
  • Flow rate does not jeopardize viability of an organism
  • Corrosion resistant, easily sterilizable
  • U.S. Micro-Solutions, Inc. calibrates every N6 Single Stage Bioaerosol Sampler prior to and after every rental; assuring our customers have accurate results
  • Carpet cassettes are provided free to our customers

Zefon Bio Pump

Zefon Bio-Pump

In commercial particle sampling devices such as the Zefon Bio-Pump, particles are drawn through a tapered slitted orifice and impacted on an adhesive-coated cover slip.  The Zefon Bio-Pump is a portable, battery-powered pump that provides the simplest and most convenient way to sample with Air-O-Cell and Allergenco cassettes at a flow rate of 15 LPM.

  • Extra Long Battery Life - Take over 100 samples on a single charge
  • Very small size and weight
  • Very quiet operation
  • Quick-charge battery charger included (approx 3 hours)
  • Nothing to prepare or clean. Just place the cassette on the pump, set the time and go
  • U.S. Micro-Solutions, Inc. sells Air-O-Cell and Allergenco cassettes at a low cost to our customers.  Call (724) 853-4047 for ordering information
