A laboratory at Colorado State University, led by Professor John Volckens at the Center for Energy Development and Health, has been designated to test N95 masks and other protective equipment, supporting healthcare worker safety at the state level. The lab utilizes various TSI instruments for rigorous testing. For example, the Scanning Mobility Particle Sizer™ (SMPS™) and Water-Based Condensation Particle Counter (WCPC) measure particle size and filtration efficiency. CSU also has TSI's PortaCount Respirator Fit Tester for ensuring proper mask fit. This initiative underscores CSU’s commitment to supporting critical health and safety efforts.
We are proud to have been part of the great work done at CSU and in other laboratories around the world during this difficult time.
