Particle Counter

A particle counter is an apparatus used for counting and sizing particles contamination within specific clean media, including air, water and chemicals. There are several methods used for detecting and measuring particle size or size distribution — light blocking (obscuration), light scattering, Coulter principle and direct imaging. Particle counters are used in a variety of applications, a primary use of aerosol particle counters is in the determination of contamination levels within a cleanroom or clean containment device. Applicable industries include: electronic components and assemblies, pharmaceutical drug products and medical devices, and industrial technologies such as oil and gas.
