ASP-100 Automatic settle plate changer

Continuous air monitoring — without the contamination risk

No risk from manual handling

Settle-plate changes happen without an operator entering the critical zone.

No risk from the automation

Every moving part stays fully sealed via electromagnetic coupling

Settle-plate based passive air monitoring, now automated.

Precisely timed air monitoring

Under the latest EU GMP Annex 1 guidelines, pharmaceutical manufacturers must continuously monitor microbiological conditions.

Traditionally, passive air monitoring requires manual, often disruptive, interventions to replace the settle plates at least every 4 hours. This is costly, error prone, and not reproducible.

The ASP-100 provides an elegant, risk-free solution: automated plate changes that keep the line running and the critical zone sealed.

Performance

Designed with GAMP and Annex 1 in mind

  • Compatibility: tested with a wide range of plates from many vendors
  • Airflow: verified performance in laminar flow conditions both in simulations and reality
  • Low particle emission: all mechanism sealed meaning essentially no particle emission
  • 21 CFR Part 11: Selenean Connect platform satisfies all computerized qualification and electronic record requirements

FAQ

More questions? Talk with an expert
Close-up of the ASP-100 barcode reader
Which plate format does the ASP-100 use?

Standard 90 mm agar plates. The system detects dish height automatically.

Can it be fitted to an existing line?

Yes. Mounting is Tri-clamp or tabletop, and the compact footprint is intended to fit existing cleanroom layouts without structural modifications.

How does it simplify cleanroom microbiological monitoring?

By providing repeatable and trustworthy monitoring process records that cast away doubt on how monitoring is done every day.

How does it reduce contamination risk?

All electromechanical components are fully enclosed. A magnetic coupling moves plates without exposing moving parts to the cleanroom.

What connectivity is available?

Ethernet / RS-485 / Wi-Fi / LoRa

Is the ASP-100 compatible with VHP?

The casing and external materials are compatible with VHP cycles. All exposed surfaces are also compatible with alcohol, quaternary ammonium salts and peracetic acid.
