8306 Handheld Particle Counter
Model 8306
0.3 – 25 µm @ 0.1 CFM
The Particles Plus® 8306 Handheld Particle Counter measures 0.3 to 25.0 μm with a flow rate of 0.1 CFM (2.83 LPM).
Easy to configure, this instrument displays up to 6 user-selectable size channels as well as temperature and relative humidity. View data and generate ISO 14644-1, EU GMP Annex 1 or FS 209E reports on screen or via printer, USB key, real time through its versatile output options or export to Particles Plus® data-download software. Particles Plus® counters can be controlled and monitored remotely via web browser. The 8306 has a mass concentration mode that approximates density in μg/m³.
All Particles Plus® counters meet ISO 21501-4 and JIS B9921. The 8306 ensures compliance with an on-board pulse height analyzer.
