Aerosol Analyzer (ZSF)

Real-time, quantitative measurement of aerosol (PM2.5) in the air

  • Real-time monitoring
    Takes only 15 minutes for quantitative analysis of each component, which used to take more than 8 hours by manual analysis.
  • Simultaneous and quantitative analysis of particle size, number of particles, and composition
    Combination of MEMS technology, laser technology, and particle concentrating technology enables real-time and quantitative analysis of particle size, number of particles, composition (sulfate, nitrate, black carbon) of aerosol in the air, thus delivering mass concentration measurement.
  • High accuracy ensured by a combination of multiple principles
    Light diffusion method (for particle size and number of particles), laser-induced incandescence method (for black carbon), quadrupole mass spectrometry with MEMS particle trap (for sulfate and nitrate) are used to provide accurate measurement.
  • Easy-to-use touch screen
    From the front touch screen you can perform major operations such as indication of measured value and alarms, monitoring of operating status, and so on.
