The hand-held Kanomax 3800 condensation particle counter (CPC) is an ideal tool for indoor environmental quality (IEQ) and occupational health applications (see Applications below). With a measuring range of 15 nanometers to > 1 micron and a flow rate of 700 ml/min, the 3800 CPC is sensitive enough to detect nanoparticles in a concentration range of 0 to 100,000 particles per cubic centimeter. The 3800 CPC works up to 5 hours without refilling. View measurements on the large LCD display while data records in internal memory. Download data to a PC using the included Windows®-based software. Export data into standard calculation software such as Microsoft® Excel® for easy graphing and reporting.

 

About the Software
The 3800 CPC includes Windows-based measuring software. Simultaneously receive data and display/graph in real time. Measurement data can be saved as text for export into standard calculation software such as Microsoft Excel. The software requires Windows 2000 or XP, a Pentium-equivalent CPU or faster, 64 MB RAM or higher, 40 MB free hard-disk space, USB port, and a CD-ROM drive.

3800 CPC Applications

• Indoor air quality investigations
• Aerosol research
• Environmental testing for:
• Diesel engine exhaust
• Gasket leakage
