13000 Ambient Air Monitor
Condensation Particle Counter
The Particles Plus 13000 is the first real-time ambient monitor to feature a water-based condensation particle counter in a small form factor. The 13000 condensation particle counter is designed to detect and count aerosol particles by first enlarging the particulates using a supersaturated vapor. This robust monitor provide reliable, accurate measurement of airborne particles across a very wide size range allowing for the detection of environmental and public health concerns involving airborne particulates.
Real-Time Data
The condensation particle counter (CPC) measures ultrafine particulates as small as 5 nm (0.005 μm) and provides a total particle count above this threshold, this data is also stored in each of the above samples to provide a more complete view of air quality.
Internet-Enabled
Particles Plus systems are configured to allow users to push real-time data to the cloud where sensor outputs can be visualized by authorized stakeholders.
Fully Integrated Environmental Sensor System
Integration of additional sensors for measurement of environmental and meteorological parameters including relative humidity, temperature, barometric pressure.
