A12 nCNC System
Sub-micron particle concentration from 1 nm - PSM 2.0 + A30 CPC
The Airmodus A12 nCNC detects and sizes aerosol particles from 1 nm. It combines a PSM 2.0 with an A30 or A20 CPC calibrated to about 20 nm, classifies 1-12 nm particles into 8 bins by default with up to 14 configurable, and provides real-time inverted size distributions in MultiLogger. It measures neutral and naturally charged particles directly without a neutralizer, supports automated working-fluid fill and drain, and is listed on the ACTRIS sub-10 nm whitelist.
