  Particle into Liquid Sampler for Ambient Chemical Composition Measurements



Software Front Panel

BMI fabricates a turn-key, easy-to-use PILS (Particle into Liquid Sampler) for water-soluble aerosol chemical composition measurements.

Key features of the BMI-PILS include:

  • Measurement of PM1 or PM2.5 water soluble aerosol species with time resolution from one minute to twelve hours
  • Integrated data system and custom control software for fully automated operation
  • NEW - Large Vial Auto Collector Carousel for long term sampling
    (allows up to two weeks of unattended sampling)
  • Fully quantified aerosol sampling efficiency
  • Off-line and/or On-line sample collection
    (on-line analysis with user-supplied ion chromatograph)
  • Auto-collector option for off-line analysis
    (sample vial sizes: 1, 2, 10 or 20 ml)
  • Multiple analytical techniques (ie LC/MS) can be applied to a single collected vial sample
  • Automated flow control option with low pressure drop valve
  • Custom pre-impactor with customer-specified diameter cutpoint
  • Integrated zero-air background check system
  • Rack-mount and laboratory bench top versions
  • Robust design ready for aircraft deployment
  • Optional remote-control software allows full control of the PILS by a host computer
  • Optional stand-alone auto-collector software allows you to interface the auto-collector with other systems

BMI's PILS customers include:

  • California Institute of Technology
  • NOAA Pacific Marine Environment Laboratory
  • Environment Canada
  • University of California at Davis
  • University of Colorado, Boulder
  • NOAA Earth Sciences Research Laboratory.
