Ultrafine nanoparticle monitors
Aerasense supplies scientific instruments to monitor ultrafine nanoparticles.
Aerasense NanoTracer is a portable device and battery powered. The Nanotracer is a small lightweight monitor designed to be worn throughout a shift or for a day's measuring.
Aerasense NanoMonitor is designed for continuous measurements and may be used unattended for several months.
Trials by leading research institutions have shown the Aerasense ultrafine particle monitors to be very reliable, and convenient to use in a variety of clean air studies.
Aerasense products use unique inventions from Philips Research, where nano particles and ultrafines have been studied intensively for many years. Unlike traditional particle monitors, Aerasense specializes in measuring ultrafine particles smaller than 300 nanometers. An Aerasense monitor tells the number of particles and average particle size, from which the deposited surface area and mass can be inferred.
For more information on how Aerasense monitors can help your study, please contact Philips Aerasense directly and check out our product information.
