Portable airborne particle counters

We offer different multichannel handheld particle counters, able to measure measures between 0.3 μm to 25.0 μm with a flow rate of 0.1 CFM (2.83 LPM).

Firstly, it is easy to configure, up to 6 user-selectable size channels as well as temperature and relative humidity. Also, you can view data and generate standardized reports on screen or via a printer, USB key, in real-time through its versatile output options, or export to the unit data-download software. The 8306 particle counters can be controlled and monitored remotely via a web browser. Besides, the 8306 mass concentration mode approximates density in μg/m³ and allows for density and refractive index corrections to ensure accuracy.

Finally, saturation point 20 times more than industry standard with 40x processing capacity. Max concentration up to 150 mg/m3 for short monitoring periods.

Applications: You can use these particle counters as indoor air quality and ambient air quality audits for a wide range of industries and applications such as hospitals, pharmaceuticals, electronics, mining facilities, forestry facilities, and industrial facilities with direct or indirect emissions sources.
