When the Sistine Chapel’s
restoration team needed
help, they turned to SAS.
When Michelangelo teetered precariously on a 60-foot scaffold in the Sistine
Chapel to paint the “Last Judgment,” he probably had little thought of diabolical
microbes invading his celestial creation. Yet, they came. Drawn to the shadowy
dampness of aging plaster, the microbes fed on a layered confection of oil from
melted candles, cleaning solvent made from Greek wine, and thick varnishes of
animal glues.
Bioscience has a broad range of microbiological sampling instruments and
over 100 Application Notes to help you achieve your sampling needs. Request
our guidance package for fully complying with USP <797> environmental
monitoring requirements.
