ATMOS. QUALITY
IN A NEW SPHERE.
- Ease of use
- Uncompromising safety
- Data integrity and 21 CFR Part 11
- High flexibility
EASE OF USE
Ease of use is a top priority for the MAS-100 Atmos. The compressed gas sampler impresses with the following features:
- Intuitive touchscreen with graphical user guidance
- Automatic and pressure-dependent regulation of the gas flow during sampling and decompression, even at limited flow rates
- Compact and lightweight design with operation-optimized sampling head
- Convenient configuration via browser-based user interface
- Easy cleaning and disinfection
SAFETY
The MAS-100 Atmos compressed gas sampler relies on a holistic safety concept with the following safety features:
- Sampling head with mechanical safety lock
- Integrated HEPA H13 protection filter
- Possibility of connecting an exhaust tube for the safe evacuation of gases
Data Integrity and 21 CFR Part 11
By recording a complete and tamper-proof audit trail, workflows are always documented, transparent and traceable in accordance with data integrity. In addition, the following additional optional configurations can support a 21 CFR Part 11 compliant workflow.
- Integrated 21 CFR Part 11 compliant user management for easy login with personal user key
- Use of a barcode scanner to track the sampling environment
- Sampling barcode for direct data transmission to a higher-level system, minimizing the risk of transmission errors
FLEXIBILITY
The world of compressed gas nucleation is diverse. So are the on-site applications. A microbial gas sampler must be able to adapt. The MAS-100 Atmos is ready for this and can be easily and individually integrated for different workflows.
- Out-of-the-box outside 21 CFR part 11 requirements
- Stand-alone 21 CFR part 11 supporting instrument
- Smart connection to 21 CFR part 11 compliant LIMS/EM software

MAS-100 Atmos – the inspiring genesis
GERM COLLECTION UNDER PRESSURE
Norms and standards require the determination of the bacterial count in process gases to protect products from microbial contamination (ISO 14698 and EN 17141, ISO 8573-7). In order to reliably estimate the risk of contamination, sampling must be performed as gently as possible. Therefore, the impaction of the pressurized gas on the agar plate is carried out under the same pressure as exists in the pressurized gas system. The pressurized gas is only released after sampling. This prevents the germs from being exposed to the large shear forces and abrupt drop in pressure and temperature in a pressure reduction valve, which could lead to reduced growth and survival. Only after sampling is the pressure controlled and slowly reduced.

CALIBRATION
PROPER SETTINGS LEAD TO ACCURATE RESULTS
It is very simple – a reliable microbial measurement cannot be obtained unless the sampling volume is accurate. For this reason, you should have the gas flow of your microbial sampler checked annually. Our experts can calibrate the MAS-100 Atmos compressed gas sampler here in Staefa or directly at your site and ensure traceable calibration in accordance with the highest international standards (accredited in accordance with ISO 17025).
