2.5 P100 Technical Description
The P100 (EMTEK, LLC Portable 100) is a portable, battery operated, microbial air sampler. Its enclosure is comprised of a
top cover that is made of KydexTM that lies over an aircraft grade aluminum base plate. The KydexTM cover contains
MicrobanTM, an antimicrobial agent that minimizes and/or reduces the growth of microbial contaminants that may come in
contact with the KydexTM cover. The user interfaces with the P100 through a two color LCD touch screen for entering user
defined sample parameters and for the initiation and termination of sample runs. During operation the LCD displays key
sample run information, as well as a visual sample progress indicator.
The P100 is offered with two (2) sample flow rates: 28.3 LPM (1 CFM) and 100 LPM. The highest flow rate, 100 LPM,
allows for the collection of a cubic meter of air in 10-minutes, while the 28.3 LPM (1 CFM) flow rate takes approximately 35
minutes to capture a cubic meter. The flow is controlled through a proprietary CPU control system, which offers automated
flow control of the two defined flow rates. Flow rates are calibrated and set against traceable standards through the use of
an external software program and may not be altered through the user interface on the unit. Sample rates and total volume
sampled maybe displayed and output in Cubic Feet, Liters, or Cubic Meters (only for total volume). Flow alarm settings are
available for the flow rates, which will produce both an audible and visual alarm during operation and may be output to the
optional printer upon completion/termination of the sample period. Alarm occurrences are maintained within the systems
internal memory with the associated sample parameter information until the 500 sample run memory buffer is cleared.
The P100 operates with separate sieve impaction inlet covers for each of the two flow rates, 28.3 LPM (1 CFM) and 100
LPM. The inlet covers include a 300 hole pattern with appropriate inlet hole sizing for each flow rate to assure optimal
physical and biological recovery capabilities. Each inlet cover includes a distance gauge, which works in conjunction an
adjustable media stage to assure an ideal distance is maintained between the inlet cover and test media surface for appropriate
microbial particulate capture. The air sampler uses standard 90mm agar based microbial test plates (e.g., Trypticase Soy Agar
(TSA)). During testing the sampled air volume drawn through each air sampler is HEPA filtered before being exhausted
within the P100.
The P100 software, allows for sampling periods of up to 120-minutes (or 120 Cubic Feet/3396 Liters/3.4 Cubic Meters) at
the 28.3 LPM sample rate, while sample times are limited 30-minutes (or 106 Cubic Feet/3000 Liters/3 Cubic Meters) at 100
LPM. While the stated time periods, or total sample volumes are allowed by the P100, EMTEK strongly suggests that all
sampling periods employed by be qualified by the user to verify appropriate organismal recovery. In addition, the P100
offers the user the capability of entering an initial sample delay, as well as hold and test periods for each sample run. This
initial sample delay allows the user time to exit the immediate area of the sample location, while the hold and test period
settings allows for intermittent sampling of an area or process for an extended time period, as determine appropriate by the
user. For an example, the user may set an initial delay period of 3-minutes and then opt to sample for 5-minute periods with
5-minute hold periods between each 5-minute sampling period, which will occur for a period up to the maximum total
sampling period defined for the flow rate chosen. If the flow rate chosen is 28.3 LPM, and the maximum active sampling
period set is 60-minutes, this would allow for twelve (12) 5-minute test periods, followed by eleven (11) 5-minute hold
periods, for a total plate exposure time of 118-minutes (including the 3-minute initial delay). This would result in a total of
60-minutes of active sampling. The blower motor powers down during hold periods. Again, EMTEK recommends the
user qualify any sampling plan used, to include sample delay, and test/hold periods.

P100 USERS MANUAL JUN2014v03

The P100 maintains key sample run parameter data within its internal memory, which is maintained until the memory buffer
is cleared by the user or unit administrator, and/or if the 500 sample run memory buffer capacity is exceeded. Based on
administrative options, the unit will either allow no more runs to be taken with the unit until the run data is reviewed and
cleared, or it will remove the oldest run stored with each new run take. The data maintained in the system includes
set/actual flow rate, set/actual sample volume, sample start/end times, set delay, test and hold period, equipment and serial
numbers, calibration date and due date of the controller/air sampler(s), user defined site description, user ID, and alarms
during sampling. An alphanumeric keypad is provided on the touch screen for entering user defined site
identifiers/descriptions. All sample runs are date and time stamped and are also assigned a unique sample identification string
which is comprised of the units assigned serial number and a non-repeating character string up to 99,999 samples. The run
data cannot be altered within the CPU system of the P100. It may only be output (via USB Stick, or Printer), viewed (via
LCD, or PC), or cleared from the system.
Sample runs on the P100 can be initiated through either the P100 touch screen Run Display screen, the supplied Infrared
Remote (IR Remote), or by remote PC operation (optional). Using either the P100 display, IR Remote, or PC (optional), the
user can START, PAUSE, RESUME, or STOP a sampling session. The IR Remote allows for these functions at a distance
of up to 40-Feet, or approximately 12 meters, with line of site to the P100 IR Receiver window located just above the touch
screen display on the P100. The supplied single IR remote can operate up to 5 P100’s with different IR ID#’s set on the unit
(user selectable IR ID#’s 1 through 5).
There are several options available for the P100. This includes a handheld thermal printer, Remote PC/Ethernet based
operation, horizontal flow inlet, compressed air/gas testing kit, remote exhaust kit, and remote sampling kit. The thermal
printer is battery operated and can utilize both paper or label stock available from EMTEK. There are two options for the
label stock. This includes labels that use black mark detection with backing and a tear of perforation, or liner-less labels (no
backing-self sticking) without tear of perforations. The printer outputs the defined key sample parameter data following
each run (if desired). Additionally, the user can output duplicate labels/data from sample data stored in the memory buffer
based on a requested number of samples. The Remote PC Operations software will allow single or multiple unit control via
Ethernet connection. The horizontal flow inlet allows for testing in areas of horizontal air flow such as horizontal flow
Laminar Air Flow Hoods/Benches. Compressed air/gas testing can be performed at 100 LPM with the addition of the
Compressed air/gas adapter and EMTEK’s Microbial High Pressure Diffuser. The remote exhaust kit allows for attachment
of tubing to exhaust sampled air away from, or outside of the location being sampled (e.g., Isolator, ISO 5 Filling Line, LAF
Hood, etc.). The custom carrying case allows for transport of the standard P100 kit, as well as key optional accessories.

requiring power to the P100 should be performed with power removed.
Delicate internal electronic components can be damaged by static electricity,
resulting in degraded instrument performance or eventual failure.
Note Importante: Pour minimiser les dangers et les risques de l'EDD, les procédures d'entretien
non nécessitant une alimentation à la P100 devrait être exécuté avec la
puissance retirés. Interne sensible composants électroniques, peuvent être
endommagés par l'électricité statique, résultant en instrument une
dégradation des performances ou de l'échec éventuel.

The manufacturer recommends taking the following steps to prevent ESD damage to
your instrument:
• Before touching any instrument electronic components (such as printed circuit cards
and the components on them) discharge static electricity from the body. To discharge
static electricity, touch an earth-grounded metal surface such as the chassis of an
instrument, or a metal conduit or pipe.
• To reduce static build-up, avoid excessive movement. Transport static-sensitive
components in anti-static containers or packaging.
• To discharge static electricity from the body and keep it discharged, wear a wrist
strap connected by a wire to earth ground.
• Handle all static-sensitive components in a static-safe area. If possible, use
anti-static floor pads and work bench pads.
