Meet the Advanced Biofluorescent Particle Counter Rapid-C+ at PDA Micro 2026
Plair is exhibiting at the PDA Pharmaceutical Microbiology Conference 2026 in Washington, DC. Visit us at booth 322 in the exhibit hall on October 26 and 27 for live demos of Rapid-C+, the advanced biofluorescent particle counter (BFPC) for real-time environmental monitoring in aseptic processing.
This year’s program focuses on contamination control strategies, environmental monitoring, sterility assurance and alternative and rapid microbiological methods. These topics are at the heart of what Rapid-C+ was designed for. One instrument, three methods, zero compromise.
Three methods in one instrument
Viable Particle Count
Real-time viable particle counting (VPC), reported every minute
Total Particle Count
Real-time total particle counting (TPC) at ≥ 0.5, ≥ 1 and ≥ 5 µm, per ISO 21501-4
Active Air Sampling
Continuous sampling on standard agar plates with C-Catch for CFU counts and microbial identification
Validated as a rapid microbiological method
Rapid-C+ is validated as an alternative and rapid microbiological method in alignment with USP <1223>, Ph. Eur. 5.1.6 and PDA Technical Report No. 33. Accuracy, precision, specificity, limits of detection and quantification, linearity, range, ruggedness, robustness and equivalence were assessed. Read the primary validation summary →
Ask us at the booth about our peer-reviewed study on sampling flow rates for total particle counting in Grade A (ISO 5) aseptic environments, published in the PDA Journal of Pharmaceutical Science and Technology, and about how Rapid-C+ supports EU GMP Annex 1 contamination control strategies.
We look forward to seeing you at booth 322 at PDA Micro 2026 in Washington, DC!
