VersaTrap ® spore trap cassettes
provide the sampling versatility you need to capture mold and bacterial
spores and other particles ranging from 1.5 µm to 3.9 µm.
Sampling is as simple as selecting the flow rate that will target
the desired 50% cut-point, calibrating
a sample pump to the flow rate, and sampling.
VersaTrap Design
The narrow slit inlet focuses particles toward the clear glass
slide coated with a fully optimized sticky substrate that effectively
holds targeted size particles in a well-defined rectangular footprint.
VersaTrap ensures sample integrity
because each slide is encased in a SureSeal certified leak-free
cassette.
The VersaTrap Advantage
- Captures a wide range of spore sizes including Aspergillus and Penicillium
Higher flow with minimal particle bounce allows capture of spores in the 1.5
to 3.9 µm size range.
- Uniform particle deposition
Uniform rectangular shaped deposition provides for accurate analysis using standard equipment.
- Sharp collection efficiency at flows between 5 and 30 L/min
Target specific size particles for true versatility.
- Unique serial numbering for sample traceability

QuickTake® Sample Pumps — Ideal for Spore Traps
|
SKC QuickTake 15 and QuickTake
30 sample pumps are especially easy
to use with VersaTrap as they were designed for spore trap
cassettes to mount directly onto the pump and supply the
features and accessories most needed for bioaerosol screening.
The highly versatile QuickTake sample pumps can also be used
with wall samplers, standard filter cassettes, impactors,
and remote media. A programmable timer allows unattended
sampling. |
