Casella Apex2 Air Sampling Pumps

Casella Apex2 Air Sampling Pumps give research and development teams a dependable platform for personal and task-based particulate sampling. In laboratories and pilot environments, researchers need repeatable airflow, clear documentation, and flexible configurations that adapt as protocols evolve. Apex2 supports these needs with precise digital control, a rugged design that handles daily use, and connectivity that helps reduce administrative overhead.

Use Apex2 pumps to investigate dust and aerosol exposure at the bench, to profile emissions during process trials, or to compare materials under controlled conditions. The pump pairs with standard filter cassettes and media used across aerosol science and industrial hygiene methods, which helps R&D teams align with established practices and validate new approaches. Stable flow, even as filter loading changes, helps you maintain target sample volumes and produce consistent, comparable datasets.

Key advantages for research and development:

• Stable Flow Control: Supports repeatable results during method development and cross-lab comparisons.
• Long Run Time: Accommodates full-shift studies or extended trials without frequent battery changes.
• Compact, Wearable Design: Simplifies personal sampling during bench work, fume hood tasks, or pilot plant activities.
• Robust Data Logging: Captures time stamps and event markers that support audits, reports, and peer review.
• Connectivity Options: Wireless features can help streamline calibration checks, notes, and chain-of-custody records.
• Broad Media Compatibility: Works with common filter cassettes used for particulate and aerosol sampling.

Typical R&D applications include:

• Aerosol behavior studies in controlled chambers
• Material emissions and dust characterization during processing
• Exposure profiling during new method trials
• Benchmarking prototype controls and work practices
• Comparative studies across locations, shifts, or operators

Why it matters in R&D:

• Traceability: Clear, consistent records support decision-making and review.
• Reproducibility: Stable flow and reliable hardware help reduce variability from run to run.
• Efficiency: Intuitive interfaces and wireless features can reduce setup time and administrative steps.
• Flexibility: The same pump can support screening tests today and formal method trials tomorrow.

Selection guidance:

• Match Media to Objectives: Choose filter type and pore size based on the particulate fraction and analysis method.
• Plan For Run Time: Estimate sample duration and duty cycles to size batteries and spares.
• Standardize Calibration: Use a consistent primary standard and schedule checks to support data quality.
• Document Context: Note temperature, humidity, and process conditions to help interpret results.

With Apex2, R&D teams can build sampling protocols that scale from benchtop exploration to pilot verification. The platform’s combination of reliability, data capture, and ease of use supports faster iteration and more confident conclusions across aerosol and particulate research.
