Explore Hands-On Lab Sessions

Engage firsthand with TSI's particle and aerosol instruments for practical learning during the short course.

Lab A - Aerosol Sampling & Conditioning We will experiment with the factors important for the preparation of aerosol particles for measurement (conditioning), and the transport of the aerosol particles from their native location into a measurement instrument (sampling).	Lab B - Measuring Submicrometer Particles We will focus on instrumentation that can be used to count and size submicron particles that may be transient (quickly changing) in nature, or that may need to be measured in a mobile fashion or with lower-cost solutions.
Lab C - Measuring Supermicrometer Particles We will demonstrate two aerosol generators that can produce aerosols larger than one micron, as well as some instruments appropriate for measuring the size distribution of such aerosols.	Lab D - Automated Filter Testing We will use two automated filter testers that are suitable for a variety of practical filter measurement applications. Along the way, we will explore how factors such as aerosol composition, aerosol size, detector design, and flow rate have significant impacts on the obtained measurements.
