Based on a non-contact electrical detection principle, the Partector is a portable personal air sampler that requires almost no maintenance. Battery powered and simple to operate, it provides sampling and LDSA measurements over a wide range of particle sizes.

Weighing just 445g, the Partector is commonly employed for workplace sampling, but can be used in any setting; both indoors and outdoors.

The instrument features a colour display for live readings and has a high concentration alarm; however data are stored on a removable SD card.

A second version has a sample port for collecting nanoparticles onto standard Transmission Electron Microscopic (TEM) grids for later analysis. For inhalation toxicology studies, an OEM version allows for an external pump and real-time data to control nanoparticle exposure.
