What is Labmate LMAL-A101?

Labmate LMAL-A101 is a portable microbial air sampler used to collect airborne microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi from indoor air for laboratory-based microbial analysis.It draws a controlled air volume through a perforated sampling head and impacts microorganisms onto agar plates for colony-forming unit (CFU) counting.

What does Labmate LMAL-A101 do?

This device collects airborne microbial particles and converts them into measurable CFU values after incubation. It supports environmental monitoring in cleanrooms, laboratories, healthcare environments, and pharmaceutical facilities.

How does Labmate LMAL-A101 work?

• Air is drawn at a controlled flow rate of 100 L/min

• Air passes through a perforated sampling head

• Microorganisms impact onto 90 mm agar plates

• Plates are incubated under laboratory conditions

• Colonies are counted as CFU per cubic meter
