Active and passive monitoring.
Passive air sampling passive air sampling i e settle plates is a frequently.
Active there are two primary methods for microbial air sampling.
The collected culture can then be incubated and.
This leaves determination of the number ofsites for passive air sampling and surface sampling.
Active air sampling requires the use of a microbiology air sampler to physically draw a known volume of air over or through a particle collection device and there are two main types.
Active sampling involves the use of an air sampling pump to actively pull air through a collection device such as a filter.
Active air sampling sites should be done at the same locations or as close as practical to avoid compro mising the other measure or the product integrity.
As i mentioned above in active air sampling we determine bioburden in 1 cubic meter area and we sample 1000 liters of air by air sampler while in passive air sampling we determine that how much microbes settle in 90 mm diameter surface of any equipment exposed in controlled area.
Passive sampling however does not require active air movement from a pump.
