Air sampling and air monitoring
Professional air monitoring and air sampling for cleanrooms, pharmaceutical production, food manufacturing, and industry. Particle counting, microbiological sampling, and cleanroom classification to ISO 14644 and EU GMP Annex 1 – across Scandinavia.
What is air monitoring?
Air monitoring is the systematic measurement of airborne particles and microorganisms in cleanrooms and production environments using calibrated particle counters and microbial samplers. It is required under ISO 14644 and EU GMP Annex 1 to verify that controlled environments meet classification requirements. We perform both routine monitoring and one-off measurements across Scandinavia and Europe.
When do you need air sampling or particle counting?
You need air sampling for cleanroom classification, GMP monitoring, pharmaceutical manufacturing, suspected mould, air quality complaints, occupational health investigations, and after renovation or water damage. Regulatory standards such as EU GMP Annex 1 and ISO 14644 specify when monitoring is mandatory. Contact us for a free assessment of whether your situation requires sampling.
What documentation do you deliver?
You receive a complete report with measurement data, ISO 14644 classification results, assessment against relevant limit values and actionable recommendations. The documentation is formatted for regulatory audits, GMP inspections and internal quality control. All reports follow applicable standards and include traceability to calibrated instruments.
How quickly can you help?
We normally respond within one business day and can schedule sampling at short notice. Particle counting delivers immediate on-site results while laboratory analyses take one to two weeks. Contact us for a prompt assessment of your timeline and requirements.
What is air monitoring and air sampling?
Air monitoring involves the systematic measurement of airborne particles and microorganisms in controlled environments such as cleanrooms and production facilities. It is a requirement in pharmaceutical production (EU GMP Annex 1), food production, and other regulated operations.
Air sampling collects air samples that are analysed by a laboratory to identify contaminants, mould spores, particles, or chemical substances. The method is used in workplaces, schools, and industrial environments.
We offer both services – from particle counting and cleanroom classification to ISO 14644, to mould sampling and indoor air analysis. All measurements are performed with calibrated instruments and documented according to the industry's strictest standards.
When is air sampling needed?
- Cleanroom classification to ISO 14644
- Ongoing GMP monitoring in pharmaceutical production (EU GMP Annex 1)
- Microbiological control in aseptic manufacturing and food production
- Validation of HEPA filters and ventilation systems
- Suspected mould, moisture, or odour issues in premises
- Air quality complaints from staff
- Calibration of particle counters and IQ/OQ qualification
- Systematic occupational health & safety and regulatory inspections
- Preventive monitoring in schools, offices, and other premises
Services
Sampling tailored to your environment
We help you choose the right sampling approach based on your specific needs and facility type.
Industrial Environment
Industrial processes can generate air pollutants that affect the work environment and production. We offer sampling tailored for industrial environments with a clear report and recommendations.
Cleanroom
We offer complete air monitoring for cleanrooms – from particle counting and microbiological sampling to cleanroom classification. All in accordance with ISO 14644, EU GMP Annex 1 and the industry's most stringent requirements.
Microbial Air Sampling
Microbial air sampling measures the concentration of viable microorganisms in the air – critical in cleanrooms, aseptic production and other controlled environments. We carry out sampling on-site with calibrated equipment and deliver a clear report with CFU results, assessment against applicable limits and recommendations. All in accordance with EU GMP Annex 1, EN 17141 and ISO 14644 – ready for audit and regulatory inspection.
Environmental Monitoring
Environmental monitoring (EM) is the ongoing programme that demonstrates your cleanroom continues to meet requirements between classifications. We build and run your EM programme: establishing sampling points and frequency, performing particle counting and microbial sampling, setting alert and action limits, and delivering trendable documentation. All in accordance with EU GMP Annex 1, ISO 14644-2 and EN 17141 – ready for audit.
Particle Counting
Particle counting measures the level of airborne particles in cleanrooms and controlled environments – the foundation for cleanroom classification according to ISO 14644 and for particle monitoring according to EU GMP Annex 1. We carry out air particle measurement on-site with calibrated particle counters and deliver a clear report with results, class and assessment against applicable limits – ready for audit.
Calibration
Correctly calibrated instruments are the foundation for reliable measurement results. We offer professional calibration, adjustment and service of particle counters and air sampling equipment with traceable certificates.
IQ/OQ
We perform IQ/OQ qualification (Installation Qualification and Operational Qualification) for particle counters, air samplers and cleanroom equipment. The documentation ensures that your instruments meet GMP requirements.
Repair & Maintenance
We offer professional repair and preventive maintenance of particle counters, microbiological air samplers and related cleanroom equipment. Fast diagnostics, original parts and documented service to minimise your downtime.
Frequently asked questions
Air sampling involves collecting air samples for laboratory analysis. Air monitoring means systematic measurement of particles and microorganisms in controlled environments. Together, they provide a complete picture of air quality in cleanrooms, production facilities, and indoor environments.
We offer particle counting (ISO 14644), microbiological air sampling (EN 17141), mould sampling, VOC measurement, construction dust measurement, and general indoor air analysis. The method needed depends on your environment and requirements.
Pharmaceuticals, food production, hospitals, medical device manufacturing, research, schools, and industry. All operations with requirements for controlled air quality.
The most important standards are ISO 14644 (cleanroom classification), EU GMP Annex 1 (pharmaceuticals), EN 17141 (microbiology), ISO 21501-4 (particle counters), and 21 CFR Part 11 (data integrity).
The price varies with the type of measurement, cleanroom class, number of sampling points, and scope of analysis. Contact us for a free assessment and quote.
