Truly isolate your aseptic process with the BioTrak® Real-Time Viable Particle Counter (a biofluorescent particle detector). An alternative and rapid microbiological method (ARMM) for viable air testing, it combines viable particle counting—also called biofluorescent particle counting (BFPC)—with sample capture capability and ISO-compliant total particle counting to offer a complete solution for pharmaceutical environmental monitoring. Superior discrimination between viable and inert particles delivers reliable viable particle data. Time-tested gelatin filter technology efficiently captures sampled microorganisms for subsequent identification.

When combined with TSI FMS Software, it can be used for continuous monitoring of aseptic processes to reduce risk by eliminating environmental monitoring (EM) interventions and improve quality through better process understanding. Automated data collection with the 21 CFR Part 11 capable FMS Software assures the highest level of data integrity.

Beyond the monitoring of aseptic processes, it can also provide value as a standalone instrument. These applications include routine periodic testing, quickly identifying sources of contamination during EM investigations, collecting data to allow for immediate room release, and aiding in the identification and mitigation of risk for improved risk assessments. Enhanced data integrity can be achieved for standalone applications by placing it in Data Integrity Mode and using it in conjunction with the included TSI TrakPro Lite Secure Software, Data Integrity Mode is designed per the ALCOA+ principles to meet the demanding regulatory requirements of GMP users of TSI portable particle counting instruments.
