15000-OEM
The 15000-OEM condensation particle counter (CPC) is designed to detect and count aerosol particles by first enlarging the particulates using a supersaturated vapor. These robust monitors provide reliable, accurate measurement of airborne nanoparticles across a very wide size range allowing for the detection of environmental and public health concerns involving airborne particulates.
Particles Plus® condensation particle counter measures ultrafine particulates as small as 5 nm (0.005 μm) and provides a total particle count above this threshold, this data is also stored in each of the above samples to provide a more complete view of air quality.
