If you're working to identify microbial contaminants in your facility then the ideal way to do this is to capture the microbes onto a Petri dish for further culturing. An excellent instrument for doing this is with the BK-BAS-IV biological air sampler with 100 L/min sampling volume. Please click on the image below for more details.
