Optical Particle Sizer (OPS) 3330

SKU: 3330

Light, portable, and accurate measurement of particles 0.3 to 10 micrometers. Capable of measuring both particle concentration and particle size distribution as frequently as once per second (1 Hz), the Optical Particle Sizer (OPS) is a valuable tool in numerous applications, ranging from filter testing to industrial measurements, as well as indoor monitoring. For outdoor monitoring, sometimes the OPS is placed in TSI's weatherproof Environmental Enclosure.

The OPS uses single particle counting technology to measure particles from 0.3 to 10 µm in 16 user adjustable size channels. The measured particles can also be collected on a built-in filter for further analysis. The instrument is battery powered for up to 20 hours, and its large color touchscreen is easy to use.

Product Details

Backed by over 40 years of aerosol instrumentation design experience, the Opitical Particle Sizer (OPS) uses state-of-the-art optics with 120° light collection for better performance in the Mie range and sheath air technology for enhanced resolution and low maintenance. Rigorous NIST traceable factory calibration with our accredited electrostatic classifier and condensation particle counter ensures high measurement accuracy. The optical properties of the aerosol can be entered for most accurate size distribution data as well as improved particle mass concentration output. Each OPS is built for longevity and backed by our commitment to quality in aerosol measurement.

As a package (model 3914) with the NanoScan SMPS™ Nanoparticle Sizer 3910 spectrometer it enables users to measure three orders of size magnitude from 10 nm to 10 µm. These instruments are affordable, portable, and provide real-time data that can be merged with the multi-instrument manager (MIM) software. Used already for cabin measurements in cars and airplanes, the sky is literally the limit when it comes to new applications.
