Monitor Viable Air with Single-Use, Real-Time Tech
Viable air monitoring is a crucial part of an environmental monitoring program. Because common viable air monitoring methodologies have not been introduced in many years, monitoring in critical manufacturing areas like Grade A, RABS and isolators creates a dilemma for the industry. Traditional methods lack the necessary sensitivity. Singular results only provide an indicator of cleanroom status; ...

The evolution of the ambient air quality monitoring systems
Air pollution has been a rising concern due to rapid urbanization, increasing population, industrialization. The World Health Organization (WHO) report states that 90% of the people around the world breathe polluted air. To curb air pollution proper planning and mitigation strategies are required. Air quality monitoring is the first most important step in mitigation. It helps in knowing and ...

Is the Rotameter Ready for Retirement in Air Sampling/Monitoring Applications?
The variable area rotameter has been the primary tool utilized for determination of flowrates passing through the air circuitry pathway of air sampling or air monitoring systems for many years. In air sampling applications a pollutant is captured on a collection medium (filter paper, charcoal cartridge, etc.) and taken to a laboratory for determination of the quantity of pollutant on the ...
