Particle into Liquid Sampler Model 4001

Description

Perform real-time PM1 and PM2.5 particle composition measurements using the analytical method of your choice or by collecting directly into sample vials.

The PILS is the easiest method to obtain samples for both on-line and off-line aerosol chemistry measurements. If you are tired of filter samples and need a fast-response composition measurement, the PILS is one of the simplest methods available to acquire samples. It can be easily integrated with the analytical method of your choice, including ion chromatography systems and total organic analyzers. These analytical methods allow on-line analyses of aerosol chemistry for major water soluble ions and organic species with excellent detection limits.
If you don’t want to bring your chemistry lab out to the field, Brechtel offers a vial collection system that lets you set your sample time resolution based on your research needs and not on the speed of your analytical method.
