Portable aerosol spectrometer DustDecoder 11-D

DustDecoder 11-D
Portable aerosol spectrometer

Precise and compact aerosol spectrometer for the determination of dust mass fractions and particle number size distribution. Optimal solution for reliable and flexible real-time measurements for aerosol research and indoor air quality.


Functionality: Light scattering at single particles

  • Unique measurement range in one device: Inhalable, thoracic, respirable, pm10, pm2.5 and pm1, TSP, PM10, PM4, PM2.5, PM1, PMcoarse and total counts
  • 31 equidistant size channels; PSL traceable particle size distribution
  • GRIMM Dual Technology with integrated filter
  • Intelligent Li-ion battery for portable use up to 10 hours, recharging in 3 hours with smart desktop charger
  • Optical cell with internal sensor for T and RH; Purge air for protecting laser and detector
  • Wide range of indoor and outdoor applications
  • Aerodynamic aerosol focusing, total inlet flow (1.2 l/min) analyzed in the optical cell, no border zone error
  • Highest flexibility, additional information of particle number, particle surface, and dust mass distribution with software
  • Compact design, allows easy integration in laboratory or mobile setups
  • Aerosol science
  • Process control
  • PM measurements
  • Workplace monitoring (PEL, EN 481) with high time resolution
  • IAQ in vehicles and buildings
  • Technical data
