Millipore Biotest RCS High Flow Touch Portable Microbial Air Sampler System
The Millipore Biotest RCS High Flow Touch Portable Microbial Air Sampler System is a portable active air-monitoring instrument based on the Reuter Centrifugal Sampler principle. The system is used to collect airborne microorganisms by centrifugal impaction onto an agar medium, allowing the sampled air volume to be related to microbial recovery for environmental monitoring. It is associated with controlled production areas and microbiological quality-control programs.
Merck documentation identifies the RCS High Flow Touch as a portable sampler for ambient air and compressed gases in controlled environments. Operation uses a color touchscreen and rechargeable battery system, allowing sampling without continuous mains connection. The system is compatible with standardized agar media and can support user-defined sampling volumes in addition to preset volumes.

Applications
The RCS High Flow Touch is applicable to environmental monitoring in pharmaceutical manufacturing, medical-device production, hospitals, food and beverage operations, cosmetics, packaging, and other controlled environments where airborne microbial contamination must be monitored. Its sampling principle supports quantitative air monitoring by collecting microorganisms onto a culture medium.
The manufacturer also describes use with compressed gases through an appropriate adapter. Sampling-volume control and stored measurement settings can support repeated environmental monitoring routines. As with any used analytical instrument, the published model specifications describe the instrument design and do not establish the calibration status or condition of the individual unit.
