personal DataRAM™ pDR1500 Aerosol Monitor
Provide real-time results and gravimetric validation with Thermo Scientific™ personal DataRAM™ pDR1500 Aerosol Monitor, a personal aerosol instrument that offers benchtop performance. This fully integrated, active, volumetrically controlled personal sampling instrument offers greater precision, increased capabilities and decreased size and weight in an easy-to-use package.
- From site remediation monitoring to health effects studies to construction/demolition projects, the pDR1500 provides the power and flexibility to provide both real-time results and gravimetric validation. At 41 oz., it's as easy to wear it on the belt as it is to run it in a fixed location.
Capable of compensating for all typical environmental variables, the pDR1500 is outfitted for relative humidity compensation, true volumetric flow, pressure compensation and legacy pDR nephelometry technology. The pDR1500 aerosol monitor also features interchangeable cyclones for superior particle-cut points available for PM10 & PM4 or PM2.5 & PM1, as well as an integrated sample filter that enables post-gravimetric validation of all data.
