Cleanroom condensation particle counter for nanoparticle detection

Ensure nanoparticle-free environments with precision condensation particle counting, essential for detecting ultrafine particle contamination in high-purity cleanrooms and gas systems.

Detects and Monitors Nano-scale Particle Contamination

The AeroTrak Cleanroom Condensation Particle Counter 9001 from TSI Incorporated offers a robust solution for detecting and monitoring nano-scale particle contamination. The instrument is uniquely equipped with a laminar flow design and a high flow rate of 0.1 CFM (2.83 L/min), providing 10 nm sensitivity crucial for ISO Class 1 and 2 environments. By utilizing a water-based working fluid, it avoids the use of alcohol or chemicals, making it optimal for cleanroom settings.

This particle counter is designed especially for semiconductor manufacturing and electronics industries, where it contributes to the production of microprocessors and integrated circuits by tracking down sources of contamination. It is adept at handling applications related to clean environments and high-pressure compressed gas systems, ensuring high-purity in production lines.

Moreover, the AeroTrak 9001 integrates seamlessly within automated processes, offering features such as data storage for 250 zones and 10,000 samples, and extensive connectivity with USB and Ethernet data transfer options. The stainless steel enclosure and optional AeroTrak High Pressure Diffuser Model 7950 enhance its capability to measure high-pressure gases such as CDA, N2, and Ar. Its easy-to-use touch screen operation and industry-leading audible alarm system ensure both operational simplicity and reliability in rapid response scenarios.
