Advanced Arborne Particle Detection Made Easy
Airborne particles consist of a mixture of solid matter and liquid droplets. Quantifying the concentration of particles in indoor air can give important information about:
- Air quality in terms of particles
- Pollutant sources
- Effectiveness of pollution control measures
Real Time Particle Measurement
ParticleScan instruments use laser technology to measure particle concentrations in ambient
air. The instruments continuously measure
the concentration of airborne particles
and display an updated reading every six
seconds on the easy to read LED display. This
enables the user to monitor particle concentration
changes as they occur and allows
individual pollution sources to be tracked
down by using the ParticleScan as a “particle
sniffer”.
High Sensitivity
ParticleScan instruments can identify single
particles,making them far more sensitive than
photometers, which identify only particle
clouds.
Particle Sizing
ParticleScan instruments not only count
particles they also categorise particles into six
size groups ranging from 0.3 microns to 5.0
microns. This sizing information allows users
to focus only on those particle sizes of interest,
disregarding the rest.
Separate Models for IAQ & Cleanroom Use
Two ParticleScan models are available:
The ParticleScan Pro has been designed for IAQ
measurements in normal indoor and outdoor environments.
It can handle concentrations from 10 thousand to over 20 million particles (≥ 0.3μm)
per cubic foot. The ParticleScan CR has been
designed for cleanrooms or and other controlled
environments with particle concentrations between
zero and 2 million particles (≥ 0.3μm) per
cubic foot.
Audible Alarm Function
The instrument allows the user to set an individual
particle concentration threshold for each individual
size channel. An intermittent beeping
sound alerts the user should the set threshold be
exceeded.
Data Logging to PC or Palm OS® devices
Every ParticleScan is supplied with software
and a transfer cable which allows data logging
to PC or Palm OS computers
