Laser Aerosol Spectrometer (LAS) 3340A

SKU: 3340A

Conduct optical measurements of particles from 90 nm to 7.5 micrometers simultaneously. The Laser Aerosol Spectrometer (LAS) 3340A combines ultra-high sensitivity and superior resolution with ease-of-use. The LAS is an optical spectrometer that measures particle size distributions from 0.09 (90 nm) to 7.5 µm. The 100 size channels are configurable; this enables users to zero in on a specific size range, or to match the resolution of another instrument.

The LAS 3340A is used in many different applications: determining the efficiency of air cleaners, HEPA/ULPA high efficiency filter testing, indoor/outdoor air quality studies, and source apportionment. Measure a complete size distribution in as little as one second.

Product Details

The Laser Aerosol Spectrometer (LAS) 3340A uses patented wide-angle optics and an intracavity laser to measure the size and number concentration of airborne particles. It features a monotonic response with respect to light scattering intensity in the Mie range for precise resolution. While the instrument is calibrated with NIST traceable Polystyrene Latex (PSL) spheres, users can easily perform custom calibrations with other aerosols.

This Laser Aerosol Spectrometer is unique in its ability to measure both sub- and supermicron particles over such a wide range, making it a true workhorse in any lab. The software runs on a Microsoft® Surface Pro® tablet with 12.3-inch touchscreen and keyboard.
