Sales of Met One airborne particle counters in India have crossed the 300 mark. "We are very proud of this milestone, as this figure is more than the combined sales of all competitive makes," says Sheesh Gulati, CEO of MeasureTest Corporation, Mumbai, the exclusive distributors for Met One airborne and Hiac/Royco liquid particle counters in India.

Met One battery model 3313 is the counter of choice for Airpac, Aeolus, Anfilco, Clean Air Systems, CRP Group, Dyna Filters, Filtra Teknopak, John Fowler, Klenzaids, Pyramid Filters, Rama Rao, Spectrum Filtration and Thermadyne, to name just a few prominent clean room specialists.

"The healthcare industry requires an accurate and sensitive particle counter, which may be used one minute in a Class 100 room and the next minute in a Class 100,000 room. Pharma companies prefer the stainless steel body of Met One model 3313 and the fact that its 1 cfm flow rate is independent of the length of the sample tubing. Validation documentation and recalibration facilities are other deciding factors which have led to Met One being chosen by pharma firms like Abbot Labs, Astra Zeneca, Aurobindo, Baxter, Cadila Pharma, Cipla, Dabur, Dr.Reddy's Labs, Glaxo SmithKline, Indoco, Ipca, Johnson & Johnson, Ranbaxy, Wockhardt and a host of others" says Gulati.

"Regular monthly training programmes, conferences and seminars are conducted by us free of charge for pharma personnel and also for staff of clean room contractors and HEPA filter manufacturers", Gulati adds.
