MOUDI-II Impactor 122R

Model Number: 120R

This product has been discontinued as of December 31, 2024.

MOUDI-II and NanoMOUDI-II impactors are second generation Micro-Orifice, Uniform-Deposit Impactors (MOUDI™) from MSP™, a Division of TSI®. These impactors are noted for their superior aerodynamic design, sharp cut-size, and low particle loss characteristics. Up to 6000 precision micro-orifice nozzles are used to reduce pressure drop, jet velocity, particle bounce, and re-entrainment.

Discontinued

*A newer model of this product is now available.

Product Details

Individual stepper motors in the Moudi-II impactors provide reliable long-term, internal impaction plate rotation to spread out the particles so they collect in a nearly uniform deposit (ideal for some types of chemical analysis). Sampling flow rates are 30 L/min for the model 122. This impactor is designed to collect size-fractionated particle samples in four equal geometrical intervals per decade of particle size for mass or chemical analyses. The nominal cut-size diameters for this impactor model starts at 10 nm for the 122 (see table below).

Model Stages Nominal Cut Points (µm) Pressure Drop (kPa) Flow Rate (L/min)
122R 13 10, 5.6, 3.2, 1.8, 1.0, 0.56, 0.32, 0.18, 0.10, 0.056, 0.032, 0.018 and 0.010 90 30
