VersaTrap Spore Trap Cassette
• Traps smaller mould spores using higher flows
• Certified leak-free cassettes for sample integrity
• Optimised slide adhesive
• Unique serial number on each cassette for tracability
The VersaTrap spore trap cassettes provide the sampling versatility to capture mould spores and other particles ranging from 1.5 to 3.9 µm. Sampling is as easy as selecting the flow rate that will target the desired particle size (see table below), calibrating a pump to the flow rate, and collecting the sample. The narrow slit inlet focuses particles toward the clear glass slide, coated with a sticky substrate that holds the sample securely. Targeted size particles are effectively held in a well-defined rectangular footprint. VersaTrap ensures sample integrity because each slide is encased in a SureSeal certified leak-free cassette.
