Particle Counters

Particle counters are laboratory instruments used to detect, monitor, and measure physical particles within the air or liquids. They use the principles of light scattering to detect particles in a controlled media flow such as air, gas, or liquid. They play a crucial role in monitoring and diagnosing particle contamination in various industries such as laboratory research, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, electronic components, industrial technologies such as oil and gas and many more. In cleanroom operations, airborne counters are used to monitor, classify, and diagnose the source and complexity of contaminants. These counters must be able to identify and size particles of varying sizes accurately, including discriminating signal noise from actual particles. There are three main categories of laboratory particle counters: aerosol, liquid, and solid. However, only aerosol counters are directly related to cleanrooms, where they determine air quality by counting and sizing particles in the air. These counters are indispensable tools in achieving cleaner spaces in laboratory environments where purity in both air and liquid is essential.
