Christine Troutman – Director of Scientific Operations - MicronViewWhat is a Biofluorescent Particle Counter (BFPC)? A BFPC is an advanced device that detects and counts airborne particles based on their biofluorescent properties. These counters use an internal laser to differentiate biological part

Environmental monitoring (EM) might not sound like the most exciting topic, but if you’re in industries like pharma or biotech, you know it’s extremely important. While EM is essential, it’s also time-consuming, repetitive, and, frankly, kind of boring for your team. The future? Automation. At Micro

Traditional healthcare environmental monitoring (e.g., air sampling) lacks real-time data, delaying infection response. Biofluorescent Particle Counters (BFPCs) detect biological contaminants via laser-induced fluorescence, enabling immediate alerts in ORs for issues like door breaches. Continuous monitoring supports trend analysis to optimize protocols, reduce HAIs, and transform reactive practices into proactive prevention. BFPCs enhance staff training, sterilization workflows, and facility-wide safety, advancing patient care and operational efficiency.

As pharmaceutical manufacturers seek to modernize and de-risk their aseptic processing workflows, Biofluorescent Particle Counters (BFPCs), such as MicronView’s BAMS, are emerging as a critical tool for continuous viable particle monitoring. These real-time systems, which detect biologic particles using laser-induced fluorescence, offer immediate contamination insight—dramatically reducing the time to result compared to traditional culture-based methods.

Biofluorescent particle counters (BFPCs) offer a way to strengthen EM programs by filling critical gaps in timing, coverage, and responsiveness. BFPCs add real-time insight and elevate contamination control strategies. As the industry continues to move toward continuous monitoring and more data-driven decision-making, BFPCs are positioned to play a central role in the future of EM.

As cleanroom standards grow more rigorous and manufacturers face increased pressure to reduce contamination risk and improve data integrity, the demand for intelligent automation is clear. MicronView’s APC/BAS Dual Mode Robot is a fully autonomous solution designed to modernize viable and non-viable air sampling while reducing human intervention in critical environments.
