Nanoparticle and Microparticle Characterization

The field of aerosol science and technology is undergoing significant changes as global interest in ultra-fine particles expands to meet the evolving needs of the research community and industry. Traditional applications in environmental studies, safety, and metrology to name a few, have been well served with laboratory style instruments. These products provide single-particle detection limits for sizes as low as a few nanometers, and are configurable to provide flexibility for concentration, flow, and the aerosol range of interest. Similarly, characteristics which have been associated with these capabilities include a degree of complexity, high capital cost, specialized operator training requirements, and measurement and analysis largely confined to the laboratory.

This new collection of products provide the performance of laboratory grade instrumentation but are specifically designed for the Application-Based needs of occupational hygienists, toxicologists, environmental researchers, metrologists, manufacturing process and quality control groups.
