Air particle counter A30

digitalcondensationcompact

Overview
Airmodus A30 Condensation Particle Counter is a compact laminar‑flow CPC for real‑time ultrafine particle number concentration measurements. It supports EN 16976‑compliant ambient aerosol monitoring and a variety of laboratory and process studies. The instrument can operate standalone or as the detector within aerosol measurement systems, using butanol or propylene glycol (PG) as working fluid. A built‑in touchscreen provides quick access to settings, real‑time concentration readout and instrument diagnostics.

Key claims
The A30 achieves very high measurable particle concentrations while reducing footprint and integration complexity compared with previous models.

Features and benefits

• Counting capability up to 500,000 particles/cm3
• Compact footprint (~58% smaller than A20)
• Efficient water removal for stable counting
• Low power consumption (notably reduced when using PG)

All Airmodus CPCs include

• Easy‑to‑use touchscreen interface
• Fully transparent algorithm
• Analog input and output
• Advanced pulse diagnostics
• BlockSafeTM flood prevention
• Included logging software

Compatibility & operation
Compatible with the Airmodus Particle Size Magnifier (PSM 2.0) to enable studies down to ~1 nm. Designed for straightforward integration into larger measurement systems; all settings and diagnostics are accessible from the instrument touchscreen and via open connectivity options.
