MoldSnap and Micro-5 Sampling Guide
The Zefon MoldSnap (Product ID 8715304) and the Micro5 MicroCell (Product ID 8715306) were designed to operate at a flow rate of 5 liters per minute for optimal collection efficiency. Cassettes should be stored at 50° – 80° F.

- Connect the other end of tubing to a pump pre-calibrated to a flow rate of 5 LPM.
- Remove cap from the top of the cassette.
- Turn pump on and take a sample for an appropriate amount of time depending on environment. (See “Sampling Duration” below.)
- When sampling is completed, replace the pin and cap to the bottom and top of the cassette.
