Overview
Product Overview
The AELAB FKC-2 is a Microbial Air Sampler designed for the collection of airborne microbes with programmable sampling controls.
The instrument provides a sampling flow rate of 100 L/min ±5% and an adjustable sampling volume from 0–9999 L. Sampling delay and sampling cycle can also be programmed to support different air-sampling procedures.
The sampling head is fabricated from SUS316L and contains 397 straight Φ0.7 mm holes. According to the catalog, this design helps reduce bacterial overlap and counting deviation. The sampling head is also compatible with most disinfection methods.
A color touchscreen displays sampling volume, delay, interval and flow rate in real time. The FKC-2 also provides built-in storage for 5000 data sets and a USB interface for offline data export.
