Particles Plus 8301-AQM Air Quality Monitors

£4,595.00 excl. tax | £5,514.00 incl. tax

The Particles Plus® 8301-AQM1 and 8301-AQM2 Handheld Particle Counters are designed for indoor air quality (IAQ), industrial hygiene, academic research and health & safety applications. Its simple-to-use, feature-rich design enables dynamic environmental monitoring and versatile data reporting across multiple industries.

The 8301-AQMs measure particles from 0.3 to 25 μm in six user-selectable channels at a flow rate of 0.1 CFM (2.83 LPM). They offer data reporting in standard cleanroom formats or by mass concentration in μg/m³, with density and refractive index corrections. These user-friendly instruments display up to six particle size channels, temperature, relative humidity, and CO2 (AQM1) or CO2 + TVOC (AQM2).

With unique features like Particles/Second and the Real-Time Meter, the 8301-AQMs enables efficient, on-the-go particle investigations across nearly any environment. The instruments can also operate as remote particle counters, leveraging intelligent battery and power conservation modes to achieve up to 100 hours of battery life.

  • PM1.0, PM2.5, PM4.0, PM10, Mass concentration in μg/m³
  • CO2 and optional TVOC air quality metrics
  • Up to 1,000 locations 20 characters long
