Mixing Condensation Particle Counter Model 1720
Description
The Model 1720 Mixing Condensation Particle Counter (MCPC) performs ultra-fast total particle number concentration measurements for applications where high time resolution and fast response are critical. The compact size, low weight and minimal power use make it a great solution for applications requiring portability. The robust design withstands the G-forces of mobile use and the butanol handling resists problems with flooding. The MCPCās fast time response (0.18 sec) makes it an ideal detector in the Model 2100 SEMS for rapid scanning size distribution measurements. Deploy the 1720 in conjunction with our other instruments to get a more complete picture of your aerosol.

Software
Changes to instrument settings may also be made either through serial commands or directly through the front panel. Settings include displayed concentration/count/sum, whether labels are reported for each parameter, communication baud rate as well as calibration coefficients for sample and saturator laminar flow elements. It is easy to re-calibrate or validate calibrations of key components like LFEs to verify proper operation of the instrument.
