Air samplers are devices used to collect and analyze samples of air in order to detect the presence of various contaminants such as gases, vapors, dusts, and fibers.
There are many different types of air samplers that are designed to detect different types of contaminants in the air depending on the setting and the purpose of the sampling.
Types of air samplers, including:
Personal air samplers: These are worn by an individual and are used to monitor the air that the person is breathing. They are commonly used in industrial settings to measure exposure to hazardous substances.
Microbiology air samplers: These are used to collect and analyze samples of air for the presence of microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi. They are commonly used in hospital and laboratory settings to monitor the air quality and to detect outbreaks of infectious diseases.
Radiactivity air samplers: These are used to detect and measure the levels of radioactive particles in the air. They are commonly used in nuclear power plants and in areas where radioactive materials are handled or stored.
Air samplers for clean rooms: These are used to detect contaminants such as gases, vapors, dusts, and fibers in the air in clean rooms. These are typically used in manufacturing, pharmaceutical, and research settings to ensure that the air in the clean room is free of contaminants that could affect the quality of the products being produced or the outcome of experiments.
