The U.S. Department of Energy Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) user facility’s Model 3772 condensation particle counter (CPC) is a compact, rugged, and full-featured instrument that detects airborne particles down to 10 nm in diameter, at an aerosol flow rate of 1.0 lpm, over a concentration range from 0 to 1x104 #/cc. This CPC is ideally suited for applications without high-concentration measurements, such as basic aerosol research, filter and air cleaner testing, particle counter calibrations, environmental monitoring, mobile aerosol studies, particle shedding and component testing, and atmospheric and climate studies.
