The MiniCapt® Compressed Gas kit allows the MiniCapt Mobile Microbial Sampler to perform microbiological monitoring of compressed gases. The compressed gas kit is designed to work with either the 25 LPM, 50 LPM, or 100 LPM MiniCapt Mobile.
This compressed gas kit uses a special diffusion chamber mounted directly to the MiniCapt inlet, the other end of which is connected directly to the high pressure gas distribution line. For safety reasons and to regulate the flow rate of the gas into the diffusion chamber, a pressure regulator is installed in the sampling line between the high pressure gas source and the inlet to the kit. A solenoid valve is connected downstream of regulator and allows the MiniCapt to synchronize the flow of the gas with the start of a sample.
The flow of the gas to be sampled is controlled using the principle of the critical orifice. Under operating pressures, the critical orifice regulates the flow rate into the diffusion chamber and the exhaust.
• Small size for easy access to sampling points
• Economical monitoring of pressurized gases with atmospheric pressure
• Accessory to an already validated instrument
• Does not need additional qualification
• Relatively low weight compared to competitive instruments
• HEPA air filter for overpressure air and inversion from low pressure/flow prevents contamination
• Measures gases with pressures of 0.5 to 10 bar (7.2 – 145 psi)
• Can be used with Clean Dry Air (CDA), argon, nitrogen, carbon dioxide or other non-toxic inert gases
• No external flow meters needed
• Three different versions: 25, 50 and 100 LPM flow rates
• Compact Dimensions: (h, w, d) 8.5 x 6 x 4 in
• Lightweight: 4.1 lb (1.86 kg)
• No moving parts to wear
• Autoclavable stainless steel construction (removable solenoid valve)
• Ease of cleaning with Isopropyl Alcohol 70/30, Sodium Hypochlorite 1%, and Hydrogen Peroxide 3%
• MiniCapt Mobile (25, 50, 100 LPM)
