Air airborne particle counter A30 CPC

digitalcondensationUSB

Overview
The Airmodus A30 is a compact research-grade Condensation Particle Counter (CPC) platform providing a 0–500,000 #/cm³ concentration range in a pocket-sized instrument (4.9 kg) with low steady-state power (40 W). Suitable for fixed monitoring stations, portable/mobile platforms, PEMS systems and rack-integrated installations. Supports n-butanol or propylene glycol working fluids and includes an active water removal system. OEM variant and optional outdoor cabinet available for unattended operation.
