A completely integrated, real-time, high-precision sampling device with optimal usability and extended running time is the Thermo Scientific™ Personal DataRAM pDR-1500 Portable Monitor.
Product Overview
The pDR-1500 is capable and adaptable enough to deliver gravimetric validation and real-time findings for various applications, including construction/demolition projects, health impacts research, and site remediation monitoring. It weighs 41 ounces, making it as simple to run in a fixed spot as it is to wear on the belt.
With its real volumetric flow, pressure adjustment, relative humidity correction, and legacy pDR nephelometry technology, the pDR-1500 can compensate for all common environmental factors. Along with an inbuilt sample filter that allows post-gravimetric validation of all data, the pDR-1500 aerosol monitor also has cyclones that can be swapped out for better particle-cut points for PM2.5 & PM1 or PM10 & PM4.
