Particle counters discern physical particles in a wide variety of samples, counting and analyzing them in relation to their environment. They are typically used to support clean manufacturing processes in electronic components and assemblies, pharmaceutical drug products, medical devices, and industrial technologies. ATEC offers multiple types including non-viable, microbial, and aerosol particle counters for rent.
The aerosol variant diagnoses indoor air quality by counting and sizing air particles in controlled spaces. Cleanrooms, for example, are required to have particle count limits. The semiconductor, biotech, aerospace, pharmaceutical and disk drive fields often work with technology that is very sensitive to environmental contamination and thus must be housed in cleanrooms. An aerosol variant is used to test a cleanroom to ensure the air particle levels adhere to cleanroom classification standards like ISO 14644, ISO 21501-4, FDA CGMP, EU GMP Annex 1 and 21 CFR Part 11. Meanwhile, non-viable particle counters measure both organic and inorganic matter.
