Airborne Particle Counters

Introduction

Airborne particle counters are instruments used to detect and count particles suspended in air within controlled environments such as cleanrooms, laboratories, and production areas. They are widely used in pharmaceutical manufacturing, semiconductor industries, hospitals, and environmental monitoring. These devices play a key role in verifying air cleanliness levels and ensuring compliance with controlled environment standards. They solve challenges related to invisible contamination risks and inconsistent manual monitoring. By providing real-time particle data, they support environmental control, contamination prevention, and quality assurance in critical production processes.

FAQ

What are the main applications of the Airborne Particle Counter?

The Airborne Particle Counter is used to count particles or determine particle size and distribution in air, liquids or samples. It supports cleanroom monitoring, filter testing, hydraulic-oil checks, environmental work and quality control.

Which standards and regulations apply to the Airborne Particle Counter?

The instrument is designed with reference to applicable ISO and GB/T standards for particle counting and cleanroom monitoring and IEC 61010 electrical safety. Procedures should follow the relevant standard. Compliance documentation can be provided on request.

What warranty comes with the Airborne Particle Counter?

The complete unit carries a 12-month warranty from delivery, covering the main body, core components and controller against manufacturing defects. Consumables and wearing parts such as filters, seals and probes are not covered. Damage from misuse, improper power or unauthorised repair is excluded, and extended warranty can be quoted.

How easy is the Airborne Particle Counter to use?

No advanced specialist skills are needed for standard operation, though correct sample handling and safety practice should be followed. We supply a detailed manual and start-up support. For multi-user or regulated sites, a short staff training session can be arranged.

What is the typical lead time for order delivery?

Standard models require 7-30 working days. In-stock units can ship within 3-7 working days. Custom configurations or large built-to-order systems may require additional time, and we confirm the exact schedule before order confirmation.

Does the Airborne Particle Counter need calibration or verification?

Regular calibration keeps measurements within the stated accuracy; an annual check is typical, with shorter intervals for heavy or regulated use. Reference standards and procedures are described in the manual. We can quote calibration with certificates.

Are consumables and spare parts easy to obtain?

No proprietary consumable contract is required; standard parts are available from us and common laboratory suppliers. Our service team can supply a recommended parts list for the model. Most routine spares are held for quick delivery.

Can it be adapted to our requirements?

A range of options is available to match the application, such as alternative settings, fittings, data outputs or power supply. We confirm each option and its effect on price and schedule up front. Larger custom builds can be discussed.

Is installation and commissioning included?

Most models can be commissioned by following the manual, including positioning, connections, checks and a first test run. Remote guidance is available during start-up. On-site installation, commissioning and training can be arranged separately where required.

What should be avoided when using the Airborne Particle Counter?

Do not sample condensing or contaminated atmospheres, use a blocked inlet or skip flow checks. Keep the sensor clean and calibrated. Follow the operating instructions.
