We respect your privacy.

After you buy, you shouldn’t have to wait weeks for your gear to arrive. We ship fast so you can keep your cleanroom project on schedule.

We service everything we sell. That means you get faster troubleshooting support and better response times than you would with other manufacturers or manufacturer’s reps.

Special pricing is available for your business. Contact us and set up an account to make sure you get the best price available on every purchase.

We guarantee you’ll get the right instrument for your cleanroom. If it isn’t exactly right, we’ll swap it out and find the right choice. If for some reason we don’t carry what you need, we’ll point you to a source that does (we’ll never sell you an alternative that doesn’t do exactly what you need it to do).

Description

Model 8506

0.5 – 25 µm @ 0.1 CFM

The Particles Plus® 8506 Handheld Particle Counter measures 0.5 to 25.0 μm with a flow rate of 0.1 CFM (2.83 LPM).

Easy to configure, this instrument displays up to 6 user-selectable size channels as well as temperature and relative humidity. View data and generate ISO 14644-1, EU GMP Annex 1 or FS 209E reports on screen or via printer, USB key, real time through its versatile output options or export to Particles Plus® data-download software. Particles Plus® counters can be controlled and monitored remotely via web browser. The 8506 also has a mass concentration mode that approximates density in μg/m³.

All Particles Plus® counters meet ISO 21501-4 and JIS B9921. The 8506 ensures compliance with an on-board pulse height analyzer.
