Cascade Impactors

MOUDI Impactors 100NR, 100S4, 110NR

Model Number: 100NR

MOUDI™ impactors are classic, precise cascade impactors with sharp cut-size, low internal-loss characteristics, and high accuracy. These cascade impactors provide sharp cut-sizes, low internal losses, and high accuracy in a non-rotating configuration with a 30 L/min smapling flow rate.

Attention: The 100NR MOUDI™ Impactor will reach its end of life effective December 31, 2024. However, the 100S4 and 110NR models will remain available for your needs.

Product Details

The MOUDI impactors, 100NR, 100S4, and 110NR, are used for collecting size-fractionated particle samples in the 0.056 to 10 µm aerodynamic diameter range for gravimetric and/or chemical analyses. The various MOUDI models hold various number of stages, as listed in the table below, the classic MOUDI's hold various impaction stages and cut-sizes. Particle deposits are collected on standard 47-mm substrates which can be analyzed for mass, or via chemical analysis or microscopy.
