... Improved for ease of operation
The RCS Standard was introduced in 1979 as the first compact portable air sampler in the world.
The new technology of the impaction principle is based on centrifugal force and guarantees reproducible results. This technology, together with our standardised ready-to-use agar strips, is why the RCS “Classic” air sampler is still in use today.
These advantages make the RCS a special instrument wherever micro-organisms in the air have to be counted, for example:
- Pharmaceutical and medical equipment
- Cosmetics manufacture
- Food and drinks industry
- Industrial hygiene monitoring
- Hospitals
- Space technology
Improved features make for ease of operation
- New self-explanatory keypad
- Use of buttons and LED signals when selecting the sampling time
- Alarm: LED signals indicate low battery power or jammed rotation
- New infrared remote control increases flexibility
- Auto switch-off
- Research, Development, Production and Sales Department for the Biotest HYCON® product line are ISO 9001 certified.
