PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The Partisol-FRM (Federal Reference Method) Air Sampler from Thermo Fisher Scientific is a single-event particulate matter (PM) sampler. The system is designed specifically for PM-2.5 sampling but can be configured to sample PM-10, PM-1 or TSP easily by replacing the WINS impactor with a straight through adapter in conjunction with an appropriate size-selective inlet.

An active volumetric flow control system maintains a constant volumetric flow at a user-defined rate of 16.7 l/min by default and the sampler’s microprocessor constantly adjusts the set point of the mass flow controller in accordance with the latest measurements from ambient temperature and pressure sensors.

The potential for contamination through direct hand contact with the filter is minimised by a carrier that holds the Partisol filter cassette. The filter cassette remains in the carrier during its entire time away from the weighing/analysis laboratory. A transport container holds up to two filter cassette carriers for protection in the field and the optional filter cassette separator tool provides a convenient means of removing the sample filter from the cassette.
