The recent European Aerosol
conference (EAC) (4-9 September 2011) in Manchester saw the launch of a new
series of compact, environmentally friendly water-based condensation particle
counters (WCPC) from Copley Scientific. Suitable for use in clean rooms, environmental
science applications, high purity gas systems, and other air sampling
applications, the M1110 and the M1120 WCPCs use novel single-flow mixing
technology to give superior counting at high particle concentrations.
Presenting
at the EAC, Francisco Romay from MSP Corp (MN, USA) (whose aerosol sampling and
characterisation products Copley Scientific distributes in Europe) highlighted
the benefits of using water rather than butanol as the working fluid for
condensation particle counting and explained the innovative technology
that realises this aim in a small footprint system. The use of
water along with an efficient HEPA exhaust filter makes these
systems some of the most environmentally friendly on the market, suitable
for use in the cleanest of environments.
There
are two instruments in the range, each designed for different duty levels : the
M1110 has a sampling flow of 3.0L/min and a detection limit of 12nm while the
M1120 has a sampling flow of 1.0L/min and a detection limit of 8 nm. Low
maintenance requirements and robust design allow both to carry out extended
cycles of operation providing counts of from 1 to 10 million particles per
second across a wide range of concentrations. An easy-to-use graphic user
interface and simple data transfer and report methodologies save time and
promote leaner workflow.
