Via-Cell air sampling cassette

 The first disposable cassette impactor that brings simplicity and reliability to viable sampling combined with multiple analysis options

The Via-Cell bioaerosol sampling cassette is designed to collect both viable and non-viable bioaerosols, maintain visibility of the viable mould spores and prevent growth during transport to the laboratory. Sampling with the Via-Cell is very similar to its sister product Air-O-Cell. Simply connect it o any pump calibrated to 15 LBM and run your sample. The key to the Via-Cell is that the media used for collection maintains viability of spores and allows several analysis options.

Features:

• Provided ready-to-use
• No refrigeration - only room temperature required
• No electricity or heavy equipment required
• 1 year shelf life is 4 times as long as traditional methods
• Multiple analysis options - compatible with culture plates, PCR and direct microscopy screening
• Independently validated and compared to current industry standard methods by both universities and laboratories.

Culturable Sampling: The Via-Cell sampler is the perfect tool for collecting viable organism and culturing them on agar plates. Simply dilute the media in sterile water and transfer to a culture plate

PCR Analysis: The Via-Cell utilises a water soluble collection media which is ideal for PCR and other chemical types of analysis. Once the sample is diluted in water, it can be transferred most anywhere.

Direct Microscopy: Sample collected using the Via-Cell sampler may be "pre-screened" using direct microscopy methods, which is allow the analyst to decide if additional analysis techniques are needed, which may include culturing or standard direct microscopy analysis
