Air and Environmental Sampling Tools / Equipment
EMS introduces this new disposable sampling equipment which is used to monitor indoor environmental, occupational health and safety conditions.
Air-O-Cell® Sampling Cassette
This is a unique air sampling cassette specially designed for quick collection of a wide range of airborne aerosols including mold spores, pollen, insect parts, skin cell fragments, fibers (e.g. asbestos, fiberglass, cellulose, clothing fibers, etc.) and organic particulate e.g. ceramic, fly ash, copy toner, etc. The Air-O-Cell® collects both viable and non-viable sample specimens, providing a much broader overview of potential allergens and contaminants than conventional sampling techniques.
After sampling is completed, the cassettes are sent to a laboratory, where the slides are removed and direct microscopic analysis can be immediately performed. The collection media is compatible with a wide range of biological stains and refractive index oils, allowing direct quantitative analysis of organic and inorganic particulate.
The Air-O-Cell® can be used with any standard off-the-shelf area sampling pump capable of drawing 15 LPM open flow. The small compact size makes Air-O-Cell® suitable for use in confined or restrictive area.

Via-Cell® Bioaerosol Sampling Cassette
The first disposable cassette impactor that brings simplicity and reliability to viable sampling combined with multiple analysis options
The Via-Cell® bioaerosol sampling cassette is designed to collect both viable and non-viable bioaerosols, maintain visibility of the viable mold spores and prevent growth during transport to the laboratory. Sampling with the Via-Cell® is very similar to its sister product Air-O-Cell®. Simply connect it o any pump calibrated to 15 LBM and run your sample. The key to the Via-Cell® is that the media used for collection maintains viability of spores and allows several analysis options.
Features
- Provided ready-to-use
- No refrigeration – only room temperature required
- No electricity or heavy equipment required
- 1 year shelf life is 4 times as long as traditional methods
- Multiple analysis options – compatible with culture plates, PCR and direct microscopy screening
- Independently validated and compared to current industry standard methods by both universities and laboratories.
Culturable Sampling: The Via-Cell® sampler is the perfect tool for collecting viable organism and culturing them on agar plates. Simply dilute the media in sterile water and transfer to a culture plate
PCR Analysis: The Via-Cell® utilizes a water soluble collection media which is ideal for PCR and other chemical types of analysis. Once the sample is diluted in water, it can be transferred most anywhere.
Direct Microscopy: Sample collected using the Via-Cell® sampler may be "pre-screened" using direct microscopy methods, which is allow the analyst to decide if additional analysis techniques are needed, which may include culturing or standard direct microscopy analysis
