New air-sampling device combines cost-effectiveness, usability, and accuracy. (Products & Services).


Environmental Microbiology Environmental microbiology is the study of the composition and physiology of microbial communities in the environment. The environment in this case means the soil, water, air and sediments covering the planet and can also include the animals and plants that inhabit these areas.  Laboratory, Inc. (EMLab) is offering a disposable air-sampling device that is simpler to use than standard samplers and therefore more cost-effective cost-effective,
n the minimal expenditure of dollars, time, and other elements necessary to achieve the health care result deemed necessary and appropriate.
. Because it is a single-use device, the BioCassette[TM] eliminates the need for cleaning and the risk of cross-contamination cross-contamination,
n the transfer of an infection directly from one person to another or indirectly from one person to a second person via a fomite.
 from sample to sample. It also offers a high level of protection from external contamination. In addition, technical improvements in the design allow for better collection efficiency and repeatability Indoor air quality Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) deals with the content of interior air that could affect health and comfort of building occupants. The IAQ may be compromised by microbial contaminants (mold, bacteria), chemicals (such as carbon monoxide, radon), allergens, or any mass or energy stressor  professionals will find that the product simplifies culturable air sampling without sacrificing quality or performance. The BioCassette protects the integrity of samples both in the field and in transit to the laboratory
