4 – WHAT IS THE DEFINITION OF MAM (MICROBIOLOGICAL AIR MONITORING)?


Microbial Air Monitoring (also called Viable Air Monitoring) has the purpose to capture samples of micro-organisms (bacteria, moulds, yeast) suspended in the air on a nutrient media (inside a Petri dish) with subsequent incubation to highlight their growth after 2-3 days for bacteria and 3-6 days for moulds and yeasts.
