Ambient Viable Andersen Cascade Impactors
Tisch Environmental ambient viable andersen cascade impactors are used for the collection of
airborne aerosols containing bacteria or fungi. These devices come in six stage (TE-10-800), two
stage (TE-10-860), or single stage (TE-10-890) variations with an available pump for sampling at
28.3lpm. These ambient viable impactors are precision-machined out of high-quality aluminium
plates with successively smaller diameter holes. As the ambient air cascades through the different
stages, the corresponding particulates impact on the stage as the smaller particulates continue to
travel through the stages until they are entrapped on the corresponding plate. These viable
bacterial particulates are then incubated and then counted or identified. They can then be recorded
and related to where they may be deposited on the human lung.
Features
- High Sample Flow Rate of 28.3 ALPM
- Size separation from >9µm to <0.3µm.
- Optional volumetric flow controlled vacuum system.
- Corrosion resistant alloy aluminium with silicone seals.
- Time proven virtual elimination of particle bounce and re-entrapment.
- Highest proven collection efficiency, reproducibility and accuracy.
- Incorporates U.S. Federal standards for the “Ideal Cascade Impactor” and meets OSHA, EPA
and ACGIH design requirements for respirable/non respirable fraction.
