Product Description
User friendly and easy to set up, the DustMate is perfect for monitoring controlled environments such as cleanrooms in manufacturing plants or scientific research laboratories, where it is essential that low levels of pollutants such as dust and airborne microbes are maintained. In addition to use in buildings, its portability and one-second time resolution make it ideal for use as a roadside indicator to identify high-pollution vehicles as they pass.
Light and ergonomically designed, it allows for single-handed operation at arm’s length while used in handheld mode. If a long sample period is required, the DustMate device can be fixed to a tripod.
How it works
The DustMate, along with our other airborne particle monitors, works using Turnkey’s specially developed nephelometer. Air samples are continuously drawn through the nephelometer, which analyses individual particles as they pass through a laser beam. The particles are then collected on the reference filter. The nephelometer’s microprocessor has the capacity to analyse individual particles even if there are millions of particles per litre.
