As part of our complete clean environment monitoring solutions (products and services), Particle Measuring Systems (PMS) provides you with Airborne Molecular Contamination (AMC) solutions.

In high-tech ultra-clean manufacturing processes, AMC can cause costly damage. Our AMC monitors detect acids, amines, ammonia, and chlorides, helping you quickly identify problems and their location before your product is contaminated.

Benefits of Our AMC Monitoring Systems

While no environment is 100% contamination free all the time, you can identify contamination before a costly incursion occurs by relying on our AirSentry AMC monitoring systems.
Some of the benefits of our various configurations include:

  • Three options: three options: mobile, multi-point, and point-of-use.
  • Versatile configuration options for continuous or mobile monitoring
  • Thorough and reliable data generation and trending
  • Long-term data trending and results
  • Low cost-per-test and cost-per-sample point
  • Detect multiple compounds, specified by the end user
  • Identify AMC issues and sources before costly damage occurs
  • Characterize airborne molecular contamination (AMC) levels

AMC Monitoring: AirSentry® II Point-of-Use Ion Mobility Spectrometer

The AirSentry II AMC Monitoring family of ion mobility spectrometers for airborne molecular contamination (AMC) detect and alert users to small concentrations or changes in airborne levels of chlorides, acids, amines and ammonia-containing species.

AMC Monitoring with parts-per-trillion (ppt) sensitivity, these point-of-use sensors provide fast response, increased detection selectivity and repeatable performance. Combining Air Sentry II sensors from Particle Measuring Systems with a central software platform allows for easy data acquisition and analysis. The AirSentry II family of airborne molecular contamination sensors provide continuous actionable data, to enable efficient response to contamination sources and events.
