This personal aerosol instrument provides both real-time results and gravimetric validation.
Product Overview
The Thermo Scientific™ Personal DataRAM™ pDR-1500 Portable Monitor is a fully integrated, real-time, high-precision sampling instrument designed for ease of use and extended operating time.
The pDR-1500 delivers the flexibility and performance needed for applications such as construction and demolition projects, health effects studies, and site remediation monitoring. Weighing 41 ounces, it is easy to operate either in a fixed location or worn on a belt.
Equipped with legacy pDR nephelometry technology, the pDR-1500 includes features such as pressure compensation, true volumetric flow, and relative humidity compensation, allowing it to adjust for typical environmental variables.
In addition, the pDR-1500 aerosol monitor includes an integrated sample filter for post-gravimetric validation of all data, and interchangeable cyclones that offer precise particle cut-points for PM2.5 & PM1 or PM10 & PM4.
