The new CONT.AIR is a handheld particle counter designed for cleanroom monitoring, industrial and health & safety applications, research and indoor air quality
- This instrument is used to detect, count and size the aerosol particles present in the air. Unlike a microbial air sampler, which gives the number and the type of micro-organism captured on the agar plate, the particle counter gives the number, and the size of the non-viable particles present in the air. These particles can be the transport agents for viable ones (micro-organisms).
- Light, ergonomic and easy to use as a portable device.
- The instrument is patented.
- The instrument detects particles in a range from 0.3 to 25 µm across 6 pre-set channels (generally 0.3, 0.5, 1.0, 2.5, 5.0, 10.0 µm). It operates at a flow rate of 0.1 CFM (2.83 l/min).
- It provides data output both in standard cleanroom formats and in mass concentration (µg/m³).
- The possibility to integrate the instrument with temperature and relative humidity probes generates more detailed environmental assessments.
- The firmware is user friendly, and the presence of a pen facilitates the use of the touchscreen keyboard.
Aplicações
The most common applications for the handheld particle counter are:
- Healthcare and science: hospitals, research labs, production of pharmaceuticals, biotech products and medical devices.
- Air quality control: checking cleanrooms, testing Indoor Air Quality (IAQ), and systems for managing heating and air conditioning (HVAC).
- Manufacturing and tech: in food and beverage industry and high-tech sectors like electronics, semiconductors, and aerospace.
Performances
- Up to 45,000 records stored with particle counts, environmental data, locations and date/time
- 1,000 sample locations (20 characters per name) and 50 recipes
- Large, intuitive color touchscreen display with an easy-to-use interface
- A pen to better use the touchscreen display for gloved operations
- Possibility to save 32-character notes to a live sample record
- Over 10 hours continuous sampling with a single charge
- Integrated handle for one hand operation
- Possibility to generates reports according to ISO 14644-1, EU GMP Annex 1 and FS 209E
- Audible alarms and alarm management tools
- Thermal printer as an optional accessory
- Easy to clean and wipe down
- Compatible with standard tripods
