Product news

Particle counting is a critical component of clean room monitoring programs. Particle counter data is needed to detect contaminants in the air and to determine the cleanliness of air in controlled environments, such as those found in the sensitive food industries, which have to comply with strict regulations. The APC instruments meet regulated standards for performance, counting efficiency, and calibration. They are available in either stainless steel or plastic with stainless steel components. The APC SmartTouch fulfills the most stringent hygiene standards and is ideally suited for disinfection.

The APC SmartTouch is a unique, easy-to-use airborne particle counter, which is designed to reduce your cleanroom certification and monitoring costs whilst minimizing the likelihood of human sampling errors.

Secure and reliable:
• Visual representation of sampling locations: minimizes risk of human errors
• Ideally suited for disinfection: easy-to-clean
• Equipped with high-capacity batteries: allows for continuous sampling
• Follows strict hygiene standards
• Designed for use in cleanrooms: smooth easy clean surfaces.


Convenient:
• Large color touch screen with familiar icons and intuitive menu: easy-to-use
• All required actions start from main menu: increases operating efficiency and saves time

Flexible:
• Complete system with many accessories: no need to invest in multiple instruments, reducing costs of associated routine calibration
• Designed for dual flow rates: significantly reduces cleanroom certification and monitoring cost

Sample ManagementSample management systems include sample storage devices such as freezers and plate storers, sample environment enclosures and sample organization, retrieval and sorter systems. Useful system features include high-throughput, automation, robotic arms, automated liquid handling and associated database systems. Accessories in sample management include barcode scanners, heat sealers and tubes.Particle CharacterizationParticle characterization instruments are used to determine particle size distribution, shape, surface area, zeta potential, density and porosity of particles and materials. Multiple tecchniques are available for determining particle size, shape and count including dynamic light scattering (DLS), laser diffraction, electrozone (Coulter technique), imaging particle analysis and single particle optical sensing. Determine the density of your material with a gas pycnometer or examine its surface area and porosity with gas adsorption analyzers and mercury porosimeters. Find the best particle characterization instruments in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Air SamplingAir sampling is described as the technique used to capture air for the subsequent purpose of analyzing, typically by thermal desorption, the presence of trace particulates, such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs).Particle Monitoring
