NanoTracer UFP monitoring
Since its first introduction in 2009, the Aerasense NanoTracer has proven its quality and robustness in various applications worldwide. Based on this technology developed with our partner Royal Philips Research, we have created a range of dedicated devices to measure UFP in different locations and situations. We look forward to discuss your needs and requirements, and find the right NanoTracer for your application. All NanoTracers share the same sensing-principle, based on the corona-charging of UFP and subsequent sensing in a sensitive electrometer. For more background on the fundamentals of the technology see papers Marra.
Compared to alternative sensing technologies, diffusion-charge devices have many advantages:
- Measurement is independent of orientation, enabling mobile monitoring
- Small and lightweight footprint, allowing personal monitoring
- No liquids or other consumables required
- Simple to operate, single button operation
- Continous measurement in real-time
NanoTracer XP
Based on the proven Philips’ NanoTracer, the NanoTracer XP (eXtended Performance) is delivering more features in the same portable package:
- Integrated calculation of Lung-deposited-Surface-Area (LDSA)
- Faster measurement in “Advanced Mode” (10 seconds sampling time)
- Increased measurement range to included UFP between 10-300 nm (20-120 nm average diameter)
- Longer battery life, allowing over 8 hrs of continuous measurement
- Integrated monitoring and self-check capabilities improving quality of your data and reliable campaign planning
NanoTracer RM
Specifically targeted for integration in sensing stations, the NanoTracer RM (Remote Monitoring) is optimized for the harsh environment encountered in 24/7 outdoor sensing. The rugged sensing engine (shared between all versions of the NanoTracers) is coupled to a heavy-duty air pump and power supply. Mounted in a weatherproof box with standardized interfaces the NanoTracer RM is ready to be integrated in any sensing station around the world.
