modèle AeroTrak 8240 et 8260 de TSI

Monitoring and certifying clean environments for quality assurance

Model Information
The AEROTRAK Optical Particle Counter Model 8260 is a new addition to TSI’s full line of real-time particle measuring instruments. Typical applications include testing, monitoring and certifying cleanroom environments for electronics, medical devices, aerospace, pharmaceuticals, monitoring gowning / ante rooms, testing filter performance and certifying efficiency, researching particle counts and size distributions.

The AEROTRAK Optical Particle Counter Model 8260 is a lightweight (12.8 lbs or 5.8 kg) portable particle counter that operates on the included lithium-ion battery or AC power. The Model 8260 has a 1.77 CFM or 50 lpm flow rate and counts in 6 user-adjustable bin sizes from 0.3 to 10 microns. The instrument features an integral thermal printer for on-site printing and stores over 100,000 data sets that can be later downloaded for analysis and reporting using the included TrakPro™ Data Analysis Software. The AEROTRAK Optical Particle Counter comes with a three-year warranty and meets ISO 14644 and JIS standards.

Lower Airborne Particle Risk With Confidence

With today’s changing technology, there is growing concern about airborne contamination, both from a quality assurance perspective and in terms of the health and safety of individuals. In some cases, existing regulations must be met. Other times, guidelines prescribe best practices, often based on shared experience. Finally, in some situations people have set their own standards for air quality for various reasons and need to assess compliance with their own criteria. In these conditions, accurate particle counting is a necessity.

The AEROTRAK Particle Counter is the newest addition to TSI’s family of real-time particle measuring instruments. It joins a full line of instruments, including photometers for mass concentration measurements, condensation particle counters for ultrafine particles, and instruments for nanoparticle surface area measurements. Typical applications include cleanroom certification, indoor environmental research, human exposure assessment, indoor air quality, filter testing, clearance testing, quality assurance and contaminant migration studies.

The AEROTRAK Model 8240 counter is a lightweight (12.8 lbs or 5.8 kg), portable device that operates on AC power or a lithium-ion battery. The 8240 has a 1 cfm (28.3 lpm) flow rate and 6 user-adjustable bin sizes. The Model 8260 has a flow rate of 1.77 cfm (50 lpm). Both instruments feature an integral thermal printer for on-site, hard documentation. More then 100,000 data sets can be stored and downloaded for analysis and reporting using TRAKPRO Data Analysis Software from TSI. AEROTRAK particle counters come with a threeyear warranty and meet ISO 14644 and JIS standards.

These particle counters have optional probes for temperature/humidity and for air velocity measurements, allowing multiple measurements in one instrument.
