NANOSCAN NANOPARTICLE SIZER

Model 3910
Affordable, portable nanoparticle sizer for particles down to 10 nm.
The TSI NanoScan SMPS opens the door to routine nanoparticle size measurements. This
revolutionary sizer fits a TSI SMPS™ Spectrometer into an affordable, portable package that is about
the size of a basketball. Easy to use, lightweight, and battery-powered, NanoScan SMPS enables
investigators to collect valuable nanoparticle size data from more sites, including size distributions
down to 10 nm for concentrations up to 1,000,000 particles/cm3 in selectable SCAN or SINGLE
measurement modes. Derived from TSI core technologies, the NanoScan SMPS is an innovative,
cost-effective solution for real-time nanoparticle size measurements.
Data collection begins with a touch of the instrument display - no need for a dedicated computer to
set up the instrument or save data. The user interface is intuitive and easy for new users to operate.
NanoScan SMPS displays real-time number, surface area, or mass size distributions, concentrations,
and statistics. From the front panel, users can program start time, number of samples, and other
parameters. A full suite of instrument diagnostic data can be viewed from the Setup Screen.
In addition to nanoparticle size distributions, the NanoScan SMPS can collect second-by-second
concentration data at a single mobility diameter. If the nanoparticle source of concern generates 50
nm particles, it is possible to easily monitor 50 nm mobility diameter with 1 second time resolution
to keep a real-time record of concentration levels.
Combine the NanoScan SMPS and the Optical Particle Sizer Model 3330 to measure three orders
of size magnitude from 10 nm to 10 μm using affordable MIM software in concert with portable,
real-time instruments.

OPTICAL PARTICLE SIZER

Model 3330
Easy-to-use particle sizer for particles 0.3 - 10 μm in size.
Optical Particle Sizer 3330 (OPS) is a light, portable unit that uses single-particle counting
technology to provide fast, accurate measurement of particle concentration from 0 to 3,000
particles/cm3 and particle size distribution for 0.3 – 10 μm in up to 16 channels. Backed by over 40
years of aerosol instrumentation design experience, the OPS uses state-of-the-art optics with 120°
light collection and sophisticated electronics processing resulting in precision, high-quality data.

AERODYNAMIC PARTICLE SIZER® SPECTROMETER

APS software has ad­vanced instrument-control and datahandling features. Above, a graph of aerodynamic diameter is
displayed with particle-size and statistics tables.

Model 3321
The only way to determine a particle’s true airborne
behavior is to measure its aerodynamic diameter.
Aerodynamic measurements account for differences in particle size, shape, and density. This
is crucial when determining if a particle will penetrate a filter, be removed by a cyclone, or be
deposited in the lung. The Aerodynamic Particle Sizer (APS™) spectrometer has been used
successfully for over 20 years in laboratory and field applications to provide high-resolution, realtime aerodynamic measurements in the range from 0.5 to 20 µm. Our latest models also measure
light-scattering intensity in the equivalent optical size range of 0.37 to 20 µm. By providing paired
data for each particle, the APS opens up exciting new possibilities for aerosol scientists interested in
studying the makeup of an aerosol.

Three graphs showing aerodynamic diameter, side scatter, and
correlated data are displayed on this screen simultaneously.

The Model 3321 APS spectrometer uses a patented, double-crest optical system for unmatched

sizing accuracy. It also includes a redesigned nozzle configuration and improved signal processing.
The result is greater small-particle sizing efficiency, im­proved accuracy of mass-weighted
distributions, and near elimination of false background counts. The Aerosol Instrument Manager®
software provides advanced data-handling capabilities.

FAST MOBILITY PARTICLE SIZER® SPECTROMETER

Model 3091
Measures size distribution and number concentration of rapidly changing,
submicrometer aerosol particles in real time.
The Fast Mobility Particle Sizer (FMPS™) spectrometer measures particles in the range from 5.6 to
560 nm, offering a total of 32 channels of resolution (16 channels per decade). This submicrometer
particle sizer uses an electrical mobility measurement technique similar to that used in the SMPS
spectrometers. However, instead of a CPC, the Model 3091 FMPS spectrometer uses multiple, lownoise electrometers for particle detection. This produces particle-size-distribution measurements
with 1-second resolution, providing the ability to visualize particle events and changes in particle
size distribution in real time.
The Model 3091 operates at a high flow rate (10 L/min) to minimize diffusion losses of ultrafine and
nanoparticles. It operates at ambient pressure to prevent evaporation of volatile and semivolatile
particles. It requires no consumables. Plus, it uses an efficient, unipolar charger to eliminate the need
for a radioactive neutralizer.
The FMPS is easy to transport, set up, and operate. It can be configured to measure single or multiple
runs continuously for up to 12 hours. Its large, color VGA display and built-in control knob provide
easy access to instrument functions, set-up menus, and data displays. Software highlights include
a variety of graphing options, including 3-D playback of size distribution and concentration versus
time, data export capabilities, and the ability to input individual effective densities per channel to
calculate a continuous output of total particulate mass.
All of these features make the FMPS spectrometer appropriate for a variety of applications,
especially particle formation and growth studies, indoor-air-quality measurements, environmental
research, inhalation toxicology studies, urban canyon studies, and transient emission studies from

FMPS software enables you to view a variety of parameters.

COMPONENT FILTER-TESTING SYSTEMS

Model 3150
Off-the-shelf solutions to your custom air filter testing needs.
For the wide range of flow rates and particle sizes needed to meet the
requirements of the many filter-testing standards and research needs, an
automated tester is not always practical. Building a filter test system from
components is often the best way to satisfy your measurement needs.
TSI has developed the CFTS as an easy-to-use system to integrate all the
necessary parts of this type of system.
The Component Filter Test System (CFTS) Model 3150 from TSI consists
of software and a hardware module to provide an off-the-shelf solution
for all your custom filter-testing needs. Pre-configured to work with
TSI’s world-class detectors and sizers, the CFTS provides a platform for
numerous filter test applications.
Because filters are used for a wide variety of applications and are tested
to many different filter test standards, you need a filter-testing system
that is flexible enough to change to meet these various standards. The
CFTS system is designed for this flexibility. It measures flow using a
variety of techniques and controls blowers to achieve the required flow.
It has multiple ports used to read temperature, pressure, and relative
humidity, then make flow corrections and log sensor data for test reports.
Whether designing a new test duct or updating an existing system, the
CFTS provides an easy-to-use system with the flexibility to meet your
filter-testing needs.
CFTS is structured as a core platform which controls the filter test. Its
graphical user interface is used to define the test layout and procedures as
well as being your interface for running the test. The CFTS has drivers to
communicate with the particle instruments and is the interface for
reading sensors and controlling flow. During testing, it collects, saves, and
exports the data needed for test reports. No longer is custom software
required for every component change.

emissions has been included in Regulation 83 (Euro 5) for certification of
new passenger vehicles with diesel engines, and later for Regulation 49
(EURO 6) for heavy-duty engines.
Model 3790 EECPC is fully compliant for light-duty vehicle certification in
accordance with all Regulation 83 requirements. The Model 3790 EECPC
incorporates a wide assortment of design improvements and features
such as anti-spill design, condensate removal, removable saturator for
ease of maintenance, built-in microprocessor with USB, RS-232 and
Ethernet communication interfaces, touch-panel membrane keys and a
display that enables instrument set-up, viewing particle concentration
and count data, interrogating instrument status, and data storage
capabilities. The EECPC includes our Aerosol Instrument Manager®
software. An external vacuum pump is required – sold separately.
ECE Regulations 83 and 49 mandate that only the number concentration
of solid particles are measured. TSI offers the Rotating Disk Diluter with
Thermal Conditioner Air Supply to eliminate or suppress the formation
of volatile compounds so that the EECPC only counts solid particles.
Together, the Models 3790 and 379020A-30 fulfill the proposed solid PN
sampling and measurement requirements, as shown in Figure 1.

Model 3070A
A simple, low-cost tool for measuring
particle emissions second-by-second.
The Electrical Aerosol Detector (EAD) is a robust instrument that provides
highly repeatable, real-time measurements in the range from 10 to
1000 nm. It operates over a wide concentration range and requires no
working fluid or consumables. When combined with a TSI Rotating Disk
Thermodiluter, the EAD becomes a real-time solid PN detector. These
features make the EAD ideally suited to evaluate particle emissions during
transient engine operation, to characterize efficiency of exhaust aftertreatment devices, and for on-board emissions testing.

variable dilution ratio that is adjustable from 15:1 to 3000:1 and selectable
heated diluter temperatures up to 150°C to avoid measurement of
condensed volatile materials.
In order to measure only the solid particle emissions, it is necessary to
further thermally condition the sample to eliminate the semi-volatile
and volatile fractions. TSI offers the Model 379030 Thermal Conditioner
Air Supply that can be combined with the Model 379020A. It uses an
evaporation tube to heat the sample up to 400ºC, which effectively
eliminates volatile compounds that may have formed in the exhaust as it
cools or becomes diluted. Rotating Disk Thermodiluters and accessories
can be used with all of our submicrometer particle sizers, especially the
EEPS™ and SMPS™ spectrometers, all of our CPCs,
and the EAD.

technique works well in dense spray and combustion measurements.
PDPA systems are used in a wide variety of disciplines around the world,
including combustion research, aircraft icing research, inkjet printer
