MICROBIO PC REPORTER SOFTWARE

產品附中文使用說明書

Product include Chinese operation manual

A Windows PC software package, the MICROBIO PC REPORTER is now available from the
manufacturers of the MICROBIO samplers for airborne micro-organisms. The package will allow the user to input
all records ofmicrobological air sampling.
Increasing concern for hygiene, health, and safety has created a need for a simple and economical air sampler for
airborne micro-organisms. These are widely used in food, pharmaceutical and medical industries, extending also
into general office and manufacturing areas, where ventilation specialists need to address the causes of sick building
syndrome.
Many microbiology laboratories recognise that simple settle plates do not provide a reliable indication of the levels
of airborne micro-organisms. The MicroBio Air Samplers use impaction onto standard 55mm contact plates
providing an economical means to assess these levels. To aid in the recording and interpretation of sampling results
the MicroBio PC Reporter Software will prove invaluable. For measurements in high count areas the software will
automatically calculate the positive hole correction to the colony count. When several measurements are made the
programme also calculates cfu/m3, provides mean values and confidence intervals for multiple samples, and
prepares printed reports, or data output for spreadsheets or LIMS programmes.
m addition to the data analysis and report preparation the package includes help and guidance on air sampling for
viable organisms, a list of references to books and publications on the subject, and links to the principle web sites
around the world for additional information on control and sampling ofbioaerosols.
The new Windows MicroBio PC Reporter package is supplied with all MicroBio MB series air samplers available
from the UK Manufacturer:



MICROBIO Air SAMPLERS
VALIDATION TESTS
The MicroBio MB1 and MB2 samplers have undergone validation tests carried out by AEA
Technology, Harwell, UK, as part of the DTI sponsored VAM programme (Validation of
Analytical Methods).
Both Samplers were found to meet the basic criteria as suitable reference samplers for airborne
micro-organisms.
Tests were made in a Biological Test Chamber containing known concentrations of specific
organisms under defined environmental conditions. The MicroBio Air Samplers were mounted
inside the test chamber alongside a reference glass cyclone samplers, and also alongside the
Andersen 6-stage cascade impactor (sampler). Tests were conducted with S.cerevisiae cells (a
yeast) and P.expansum spores (a fungi).
A typical graph of the results from the tests is shown below.

S.cerevisiae Cells at 70% RH
