MicronView is introducing the BAS Neo, a new series of portable bioaerosol samplers designed to support cleanroom biocontamination control and microbiological monitoring in accordance with EU GMP Annex 1, ISO 14698-1/-2, and EN 17141:2020.
Using the Andersen impact sampling principle at approximately 21 m/s, the BAS Neo delivers consistent physical and biological collection efficiency. With dual flow rate options, remote sampling up to 8 meters, and 20,000 onboard data records with a full audit trail, it covers the monitoring essentials at the most accessible price point in the MicronView BAS range.
Key Features
- Dual flow rate options: 100 or 200 L/min, switchable by swapping the sampling head and adaptable to your monitoring protocol without additional hardware
- Extended battery life: Up to 7 hours of continuous operation at 100 L/min, or 2.5 hours at 200 L/min, enough for a full monitoring shift without recharging
- Remote sampling up to 8 meters: Keep the instrument outside the critical zone while the remote sampling head reaches inside isolators, biosafety cabinets, or laminar flow workbenches
- Data integrity built in: 20,000 onboard sample records, multi-level user permissions, and a complete audit trail accessible via USB or Wi-Fi
- Intuitive 5" touchscreen: Build customized sampling plans, run continuous or cyclical sessions, and export or print data with a single tap
- System integration: Connects with MicronView's Portable EMC Software or other external LIMS systems for full control and data accessibility
Three Models to Match Your Needs
- C320: The core platform for cost-effective routine monitoring. Best suited to smaller pharmaceutical operations, CMOs, or quality teams establishing a compliant program on a defined budget, with the full software suite included.
- C320F: Adds built-in HEPA exhaust filtration. A practical choice for aseptic filling suites and sterility testing areas where exhaust air control is a regulatory expectation under Annex 1.
- C320FNS: Adds NFC and an integrated barcode and QR code scanner to support media plate identification and end-to-end sample traceability. Ideal for high-volume programs or facilities implementing electronic batch records.
