Microorganisms sampling method and microorganism sampling device

摘要

In order to sample microorganisms in a first isolator 1 before, during, and after the operation of a filling system 4, first and second robots 6 and 7 that are provided in the first isolator 1 carry a sampling apparatus 5 to first and second sampling positions A and B to sample naturally dropping microorganisms, carry the sampling apparatus 5 to a third sampling position C to sample microorganisms floating around a filling nozzle 17b, and sample microorganisms adhering to the surfaces of the predetermined filling nozzle 17b and a cap feeder 18b at fourth and fifth sampling positions D and E, respectively. Since handling means is provided in a working chamber, it is possible to prevent an operator from causing contamination in the working chamber and sample microorganisms without any manual operations.
