The NanoAir™ 10 Condensation Particle Counter (CPC) is a revolutionary new product from Particle Measuring Systems (PMS). It provides the sensitivity of a CPC with the ease of use and functionality of a traditional cleanroom particle counter. Designed to monitor ultra-clean environments, it delivers 10 nm detection sensitivity at a sample flow rate of 2.8 L/min (0.1 CFM).

The NanoAir 10’s size is 83% smaller than competitive products making it practical to use anywhere in ultra-clean environments, including inside semiconductor process tools and equipment front-end modules (EFEM). The innovative patent-pending working fluid handling system design is robust and efficient, enabling 24/7, 365 days continuous operation without the need for maintenance or user intervention of any kind between the annually required working fluid refill and calibration. Thereby, reducing sampling and data collection interruptions and tool downtime.

Designed for intuitive and reliable aerosol particle counting, this newest addition to the PMS fleet supports a variety of applications while meeting international cleanroom certification standards in the recently released EU GMP Annex 1. Can be used for portable or remote/continuous particle courting.

There are three levels of user access and security to prevent unauthorized changes. Additionally, the Audit Trail tracks and stores 30,000 entries so you know who, what, and when changes were made.

Designed to be easy to use, the multi-gesture touchscreen interface and intuitive menu guide you through logical navigation and provide effortless learning and simple configuration. Specifically engineered for use where sanitization is required, the exterior of the Lasair Pro particle counter can be easily cleaned using a wide variety of disinfectants and cleaning agents.

The Lasair Pro portable particle counter is highly adaptable, allowing you to program and manage all sampling activities locally or remotely. The unit can store up to 30,000 data samples and the collected data is securely saved locally, or transferred via ethernet or Wi-Fi. Transfer data to PMS DataAnalyst or PharmaceuticalNet Pro data management software, or to third-party systems via Modbus, to meet data integrity-related standards such as FDA 21 CFR Part 11 and EU GMP Annex 11. Additionally, securely configure up to 100 users on each instrument or use the NFC card capabilities for unlimited users. The Lasair Pro particle counter is currently available in 3 flow rates (25, 50, 100 LPM).

Particle size ranges from 0.3-25 microns with two-channel mode for pharmaceutical use or user-selectable channels.

The Lasair Pro portable particle counter is part of the PRO Series from PMS, a complete collection of contamination monitoring tools developed from a decades-long commitment to supporting pharmaceutical manufacturers. Use the Lasair Pro with other products in the PRO Series for a total contamination control solution and the assurance of up-to-date compliance.

With a comprehensive set of features and unequaled accuracy, it offers reduced operating costs and the reliability and longevity to support its three-year laser warranty. It features a chemical-resistant, stainless-steel case that is easy to clean/wipe down and is designed to minimize particle traps. Patented Smart Flow technology eliminates traditional under-counting errors in manifold sampling. Additionally, optional on-board batteries provide over seven hours of continuous mobile use, so you can run a sample for an entire shift without having to leave the cleanroom.

The Lasair III 110 particle counter comes in 2 models for portable and inline monitoring:

• The Portable Lasair III 110 0.1 micron particle counter can be used as a mobile counter to localize the source of particles, making this an ideal tool for ISO-14644-1 clean room certification for class 1 and 2 cleanrooms.
• The Inline Lasair III 110 0.1 micron particle counter is perfect for critical locations where continuous, uninterrupted 0.1 micron monitoring is needed. Making this an ideal application for clean room monitoring, process tool monitoring, and filter testing.

Both the inline and portable Lasair III 110 particle counters come with a full range of accessories for monitoring in different applications, including high-pressure gas with the Particle Measuring Systems’ High Pressure Diffusers. Both are also compatible with the Particle measuring systems Aerosol Manifold II to enabled clean room monitoring with a single counter.
