Advanced particle size separation for chemical analysis
Achieve precise particle separation with cutting-edge impactor technology, enabling accurate collection and characterization for detailed chemical and environmental analysis.

Collects and Analyzes Aerosol Particulates
The MOUDI-II Rotating Cascade Impactors from TSI Incorporated feature state-of-the-art design for detailed aerosol sampling and analysis. With its precise micro-orifice nozzle plates and individual stepper motors, this equipment distributes particles uniformly across collection substrates, optimizing the quality of chemical analyses. Capable of handling atmospheric, workplace, and engine emissions aerosols, it supports research in environmental and industrial hygiene domains, including the tobacco industry and biological aerosol characterization.
Available in models 120R, 122R, and 125R, the MOUDI-II impactors cover a broad range of particle sizes from 10 mm to 10 nm, ensuring thorough sampling and separation across various applications. Operating at flow rates of 30 or 10 L/min, they are engineered for low pressure drop, minimal particle loss, and efficient re-entrainment control, making them suitable for continuous and programmable operations.
Built with corrosion-resistant anodized aluminum, these impactors support remote operation via Ethernet, integrating seamlessly into advanced laboratory environments. Each model offers easy collection substrate removal for rapid processing turnaround. Custom engineering is available to cater to specific client requirements, with each device supported by robust engineering and maintenance services.
