Ambient air particulate monitors - Identify, define, and inform
The knowledge to do more than inform can make all the differences when it comes to monitoring particulates. Our ambient air particulate monitors use advanced particulate monitoring technologies such as gravimetric sampling, beta attenuation, and light scattering to ensure your monitoring needs are met. Our Partisol air samplers, Tapered Element Oscillating Microbalance (TEOM), Beta Attenuation, and SHARP air quality monitors reliably measure critical regulatory parameters including PM10 and PM2.5 present in ambient air environment.
Beta attenuation and SHARP particulate monitors
The principle behind beta attenuation particulate sampling instruments (beta gauge) is that energy is absorbed from beta particles as they pass through particulate matter (PM) collected on a filter media. Our beta gauge instruments have been designed to take advantage of this scientific principle to accurately monitor and measure PM concentrations.
Reliable and precise beta gauges
Volatile aerosols remain intact for accurate measurement
Our continuous particulate monitors use the radiometric principle of beta attenuation through a known area on a fibrous filter tape to continuously detect the mass of deposited ambient particles.
Partisol air samplers
Our partisol monitors measure particles in air by drawing air through a pre-weighed filter at a known flow rate for specified amounts of time, allowing for unattended daily sampling of particulate matter.
Gravimetric particulate samplers
Collect high quality samples of fine and coarse ambient particulate matter
Our instruments are designed for operational simplicity; performance audits and stored data retrieval are made possible through an embedded microprocessor and menu-driven software.
TEOM continuous particulate monitors
Tapered element oscillating microbalances technology (TEOM) are gravimetric solutions that draw conditioned ambient air through a filter at a constant flow rate, continuously weighing the filter and calculating near real-time mass concentrations of particulate matter.
Continuously and reliably monitor particulates in ambient air
Measure critical regulatory parameters
Our advanced air sampling technology measures critical regulatory parameters including PM-10 and PM-2.5 mass concentration as it exists in ambient air.
