Air Products > 3007 Condensation Particle Counter

Overview

The smallest member of TSI's Condensation Particle Counter (CPC) family, the Model 3007 is a hand-held instrument for measuring ultrafine particles in mobile applications or remote locations. Despite it small size, the 3007 Condensation Particle Counter provides versatility not common with larger particle counters.

It offers a surprising list of performance features including a particle size range of 0.01 to greater than 1.0µm, a concentration range of 0 to 100,000 particles/cm3, an LCD display, and a built-in RS-232 serial data port. Plus, it operates on alkaline batteries and includes programmable data logging.

Its small size and ergonomic design make it a great choice for short-term outdoor and indoor air quality monitoring, human epidemiological studies, and mobile aerosol research.
