Portable Airborne Particle Counters

Introduction

Portable airborne particle counters are designed for mobile detection of airborne particles in controlled or semi-controlled environments. They are widely used in pharmaceutical facilities, electronics manufacturing, and cleanroom validation processes. The instrument provides fast and convenient air quality assessment during production or inspection activities. It solves the problem of delayed environmental feedback and limited testing coverage in fixed monitoring systems. By enabling flexible sampling, it supports better contamination control and environmental management.

Standards

ISO 21501-4:2018-Determination of particle size distribution-Single particle light interaction methods-Light scattering airborne particle counter for clean spaces

ISO 14644-3-Cleanrooms and associated controlled environments-Test methods

ISO/TR 14644-21:2023-Cleanrooms and associated controlled environments-Airborne particle sampling techniques

ISO 13320:2020-Particle size analysis-Laser diffraction methods

Complies with the above standards, but is not limited to them.

Features

1. Controlled sample flow supports accurate counts.

2. Precise optical sensor counts and sizes particles by channels.

3. Data logging and export support cleanroom and oil reports.

4. Controlled pump or flow keeps sampling consistent.

5. Multiple size channels cover the range of interest.

FAQ

What is the Portable Airborne Particle Counter mainly used for?

The Portable 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 Portable 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 Portable 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.

Will staff need special training?

Day-to-day use is simple, with clear prompts and pre-set functions reducing manual steps. New operators should review the manual and complete a short familiarisation. Our technical team offers remote support during the first runs.

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.

Is calibration included?

To protect result reliability, periodic verification should be performed, typically once or twice a year. The instrument arrives factory-calibrated, and self-check routines help spot drift. We offer traceable calibration service if the site needs it.

Are consumables and spare parts easy to obtain?

Common consumables and standard spare parts are available through our service channel and are not locked to proprietary formats. Quote the model and serial number when ordering so the correct items are supplied. Lead time for standard parts is usually short.

Can it be adapted to our requirements?

Yes, common options include different ranges, voltages, accessories, interfaces and capacity or size configurations. We confirm feasibility, specifications and any delivery impact before order confirmation. Custom requirements are reviewed case by case.

Do you provide on-site installation?

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 Portable 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.
