About Mattson Garvin Air Samplers . . .

As Commercialization of microbiology increases and diversifies and as governmental regulations continually change, it is increasingly necessary to assess occupational exposure to bioaerosols. Meaningful exposure estimates using area or environmental samplers can only be ensured by the generation of data which is both precise and accurate. The M/G range of air samplers represents a highly efficient method of generating such data, and they are designed with ease of operation as a primary factor. These slit-to-agar impaction samplers capture a true cross section of bacterial content of the air or gas sampled, unlike settling plates which collect only heavier particles and whose results are adversely affected by air movement.

The Mattson-Garvin family of air samplers were first designed and manufactured in 1971, with many of the earlier models still in regular use today.   Design changes and up-graded components over the years have served not only to improve efficiency and ease of operation, but remain a continuing commitment to stay in keeping with the demands of the industry and the end user alike. Ruggedly constructed from aluminum, stainless steel and impact resistant lexan, these air samplers are designed to give many years of trouble-free operation. Designed for use with 150 mm petri dishes, the large surface area of agar ensures excellent separation of bacterial colonies, which serves to ensure greater accuracy of count by the reduction of twin impingement.  All models feature an audible alarm which sounds at the end of each sampling period.
