EM Technologies R2S-C.001 Emtek Microbial Air Sampler R2S Controller

EM Technologies R2S-C.001 Emtek Microbial Air Sampler R2S Controller

The EM Technologies R2S-C.001 is a portable microbial air sampler paired with the R2S programmable controller, designed for viable particle environmental monitoring. The system draws a measured air volume over an agar contact plate or similar growth medium using an impaction-type sampler head, enabling the collection and quantification of airborne microorganisms. A programmable digital timer allows precise control of sampling intervals, and an integrated Dwyer rotameter provides real-time airflow visualization.

Applications

Microbial air samplers like the Emtek R2S-C.001 are standard environmental monitoring tools in pharmaceutical manufacturing, biotechnology, hospital cleanrooms, food processing facilities, and research laboratories where airborne microbial contamination must be measured and controlled. The impaction sampling method — drawing a precisely timed and metered air volume across a collection surface — is one of the most widely used techniques for viable particle monitoring because it captures living organisms directly onto growth media for incubation and colony counting. These systems are commonly required under FDA current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) regulations, EU GMP Annex 1, and ISO 14644 cleanroom standards. The R2S controller's programmable timer allows operators to run standardized sampling periods, a critical requirement when comparing results to established action and alert limits. This type of equipment is in active use today wherever regulated environments require documented air quality data.
