One significant facet of many Indoor
Air Quality (IAQ) microbial investigations is the assessment
of the carpeting and dust in an occupied building.
Carpet is listed as one of the nine potential sources
of biological agents in an occupied space (Bioaerosols
Assessment and Control, ACGIH 1999). IAQ complications
may arise with poor carpet maintenance and accidental
water incursions. Poor maintenance leads to an accumulation
of microbial contaminants while water damage incidents
provide the microbial organisms with moisture and the
nutritional substrate to proliferate to problematic
levels.
Micro-Vac carpet sampling kits are designed for sample
collection of from carpets and fabrics. Each kit
includes 10 25mm or 37mm sampling cassette with a
1" piece of tubing with a 45 degree bevel fitted
to the inlet port, 10 10cm x 10cm templates, 10 sample
ID labels and 10 zip style bags.
Micro-Vac Carpet Sampling Kits are available in the
following configurations:
Z045CC-KIT - 25mm Micro
Vac Kit with 0.45um MCE filter (shown in picture)
7345CC-KIT - 37mm Micro-Vac
Kit with 0.45um MCE filter (not shown in picture)

Micro-Vac cassettes are designed for the collection
of fibers and particulate from carpets and other
dusty areas. Both cassette styles use a 1" piece
of tubing with a 45 degree bevel fitted to the inlet
port, and come preloaded with .45µ & 5.0µ MCE
filter and support pad. The 25mm Cassettes use a
conductive housing. It is designed and manufactured
to conform with published protocols (i.e. Millette).
The 37mm cassette uses a 3 piece styrene housing
and helps prevent overloading.
Micro-Vac Cassettes are available in the following
configurations:
Z045CC - 25mm Micro Vac
Cassette with 0.45um MCE filter
7345CC - 37mm Micro-Vac
