TESTIMONIALS from our customers

Hear what some of our customers have to say about BMI's products and customer service:


"BMI’s fully controlled and integrated Particle-into-Liquid Sampler (PILS) can be set-up in the field within a few minutes, allowing unattended aerosol sampling for at least a couple of days. Because of its flexibility, we have used BMI’s PILS extensively since 2007 in many online and offline configurations. At our request, BMI also developed a version of their software enabling the use of its PILS to work online with several instruments at the same time. So far, we have successfully used BMI’s PILS to feed (both online and simultaneously) two ion chromatography systems (anions/cations) and a TOC analyzer (Water Soluble Organic Carbon) during intensive EU-FP7-MEGAPOLI field experiments in Paris in 2009 and 2010. In 2011, we successfully coupled BMI’s PILS with a Liquid Chromatography / Mass Spectrometer (LC-MS/MS) to perform real-time (2.5 minutes) ppb-level atmospheric measurements of aerosol organic tracers (levoglucosan) in fine aerosols during a one-month experiment."
– Jean Sciare, LSCE (CNRS-CEA), Gif/Yvette, France

"I have worked with BMI aerosol technology for over 5 years in numerous aircraft, ground-based, and laboratory studies and have nothing but the highest regard for the quality of the instrumentation and the customer service provided. Aircraft measurements using the PILS, SEMS, and hygroscopic growth spectrometers have resulted in new scientific findings that have already been reported in numerous publications. An important asset of BMI is their wealth of experience in field projects and their insight into the science of the aerosol measurements, which has translated into “field-friendly” instrument designs and an intimate relationship that goes beyond just discussing instrument details, but often jointly interpreting measurements.“
– Armin Sorooshian, Assistant Professor, University of Arizona, Department of Chemical and Environmental Engineering/Atmospheric Sciences


"I purchased a PILS from BMI because I knew that the flow control problems inherent in this type of instrument would require the level of detail that I expect from them. We are not only pleased with the instrument, but cannot speak more highly about the support given by BMI... very timely as well as high quality."
– Michael Hannigan, Asst. Professor, Mechanical Engineering Department, University of Colorado at Boulder

"The user interface/software made the use and operation of the PILS particularly straightforward; it is among the best equipment-user interfaces that I have used."
– Robert Griffin, Associate Professor, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Rice University
