Description
Accurate detection of ultrafine particles in ambient air, emissions, clean rooms and industrial processes.
The detection of ultrafine particles is essential for assessing air quality, validating industrial processes and complying with emissions regulations. These particles, invisible to the human eye, can have a significant impact on health, filtration efficiency and the performance of critical processes.
At Álava Ingenieros, we work with TSI Measurements, a world leader in aerosol instrumentation, to offer condensation particle counters (CPC) that can detect and quantify particles as small as 2.5 nm with high sensitivity and reliability. These devices use condensation technology to make the smallest particles visible, allowing them to be counted with high accuracy.
TSI’s CPCs are easily integrated into laboratories, environmental monitoring stations, industrial validation processes and emissions testing. Their robust design, portability and compatibility with SMPS and EEPS systems make them key tools for research, quality control and regulatory compliance in industries such as automotive, pharmaceutical, environmental and nanotechnology.
