MiniWRAS 1371
Portable wide-range aerosol spectrometer

The only portable instrument on the market that allows simultaneous and precise real-time monitoring of both micron-sized and nanoparticles. Designed for indoor air quality monitoring. 


Functionality: Optical particle counting combined with measuring the eletrical mobility diameter 

  • Two measuring instruments in a single device
    Combination of optical (OPC) and electrical (nanosizer) particle detection
  • One combined data set
    PM10, PM2.5, PM1, inhalable, thoracic, and respirable particle number size distribution
  • 41 equidistant size channels
    From 10 nm to 35 μm
  • Intelligent Li-ion battery
    For portable use up to 10 hours
  • Flexible data acquisition and communication
    With USB flash drive, Bluetooth and MiniWRAS software
  • Particle free purge air
    For improving detection and reducing signal noise
  • Suitable for numerous applications
  • No consumables or liquids
    Fully portable, operation irrespective of position
  • No handling license required
    Non-radioactive unipolar diffusion charging (DC)
  • Compact design
    Allows easy integration into laboratory or mobile setups
  • Easy to use
    • Status control via LEDs
    • Start/stop button for stand-alone operation
  • Workplace monitoring for both ultrafine particles (UFP) and dust mass fractions
  • Nanoparticle source identification
  • Indoor air quality (IAQ) in buildings
  • IAQ in vehicles, airplane cabins, cockpits, busses, trains
  • R+D testing in industry
  • Nanoparticle and PM monitoring (e. g. PM2.5)
  • Technical data
