SCANNING MOBILITY PARTICLE SIZER SPECTROMETER 3936

  Join us for the upocoming webinar: "Sizing copper and silver nanoparticle suspensions using ES+SMPS " presented by Sherrie Elzey of NIST.

     TSI's Scanning Mobility Particle Sizer Spectrometer 3936 spectrometer is a high resolution nanoparticle sizer that has long been hailed as the researcher's choice for nanoparticle size characterization for nano applications including nano research and development.

    TSI’s SMPS™ Spectrometer is widely used as the standard method to measure airborne particle size distributions. These particle sizers are also routinely used to make accurate nanoparticle size measurements of particles suspended in liquids. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) uses a TSI DMA to size 60 nm and 100 nm standard reference materials suspended in liquid (polystyrene latex spheres or PSL.

    SMPS™ spectrometer sizing is a discreet technique in which number concentrations are measured directly without assuming the shape of the particle size distribution. The method is independent of the refractive index of the particle or fluid, and has a high degree of absolute sizing accuracy and measurement repeatability. Trusted by researchers, the TSI Scanning Mobility Particle Sizer™ Spectrometer (SMPS) has provided high quality data for over 30 years.

Electrical Aerosol Generator

Electrical Aerosol Generator The Electrospray Aerosol Generator (EAG) Model 3480 produces high concentrations of monodisperse, submicrometer particles from 2 to 100 nm (initial droplet diameter of 150 nm, nominal). The Electrospray pushes a charged liquid solution or suspension through a capillary tube and exerts a

Low-Flow Thermodenuder

The Low-Flow Thermodenuder removes precursors and volatile particles from an aerosol sample for subsequent measurement of dry particle size.

Nanometer Aerosol Sampler

The Nanometer Aerosol Sampler (NAS) allows you to sample charged particles, like those from the output of a Differential Mobility Analyzer (DMA), onto sample substrates for further analysis.

Rotating Disc Thermodiluter, Thermal Conditioner

The TSI Rotating Disk Thermodiluter is highly regarded in the field of particle emission measurement, especially for sampling, diluting and conditioning exhaust from diesel and spark-ignition engines.
