Precision Air Quality Monitoring
Our advanced particle counter measures particle sizes from 0.3 μm to 25.0 μm with a precise flow rate of 0.1 CFM (2.83 LPM), ensuring highly accurate detection of airborne contaminants in controlled environments. This level of precision is crucial for maintaining air purity in data centers, laboratories, and clean rooms.
Temperature Monitoring
Our air particulate testing includes precise temperature measurements to help maintain optimal environmental conditions in sensitive spaces like data centers, laboratories, and clean rooms. Consistent temperature control is essential for preventing equipment failures, ensuring experimental accuracy, and meeting industry compliance standards.
Humidity Control
Our testing services include precise relative humidity measurements to help maintain ideal environmental conditions in controlled spaces. Proper humidity control is essential for preventing static buildup in data centers, preserving sensitive materials in laboratories, and reducing contamination risks in clean rooms.
0.3 microns
Particles as small as 0.3 μm are typically found in the air as fine dust, bacteria, mold spores, tobacco smoke, vehicle exhaust, and certain pollutants like soot and allergens. This size range can also include viruses, which can be airborne and potentially harmful in sensitive environments like clean rooms and laboratories.
0.5 Microns
At 0.5 μm, particles can include fine dust, some types of bacteria, and larger viruses. This size range may also contain smoke particles, soot, and certain types of allergens like pollen fragments, which can impact air quality and health in sensitive environments
0.1 Microns
At 1.0 μm, particles can include a variety of microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi spores, and some viruses. This size range can also contain dust, smoke, fine aerosols, and allergens like pollen fragments, which can significantly impact air quality and health, particularly in sensitive environments like clean rooms, laboratories, and data centers.
2.5 - 10 Microns
Particles between 2.5 μm and 10 μm can include larger dust particles, mold spores, pollen, and droplets from respiratory emissions, such as those produced during coughing or sneezing. These particles are often associated with outdoor air pollution, such as vehicle exhaust and industrial emissions.
ISO-Compliance and Standards
ISO 14644 is an international standard that provides guidelines for the classification of air cleanliness in cleanrooms and controlled environments. It specifies the levels of airborne particulate contamination and sets the criteria for testing and monitoring air quality. The standard divides air cleanliness into various classes, ranging from ISO Class 1 (the cleanest) to ISO Class 9, based on the number and size of particles present in the air. Adhering to ISO 14644 ensures that controlled environments meet specific air quality standards, which is crucial for industries like pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and electronics, where contamination control is vital to product quality and safety.
Our air testing equipment is fully compliant with ISO 21501-4, ensuring precise and reliable particle counting in accordance with international standards. ISO 21501-4 specifies the performance requirements for aerosol particle counters, guaranteeing that our equipment delivers accurate measurements to support high-quality environmental monitoring. Additionally, our advanced systems can generate data that meets the criteria for ISO 14644-1, GMP Annex 1, and FS209E reports. This capability ensures that our air testing solutions are ideal for industries that require stringent air quality control and documentation, such as pharmaceuticals, healthcare, and electronics, helping you maintain compliance with regulatory standards and achieve optimal cleanliness levels.

DAta center halls
Data centers house critical IT infrastructure that is sensitive to environmental conditions, including temperature, humidity, and particulate contamination. Airborne particles, such as dust and fibers, can damage sensitive electronic components, leading to system failures, data corruption, or overheating. Regular air testing ensures that the environment is free of harmful contaminants, preventing downtime, maintaining equipment longevity, and safeguarding valuable data.
Pharmaceutical Cleanrooms
Pharmaceutical cleanrooms are designed to produce medications, medical devices, or sterile products under controlled conditions. Even the smallest particle contamination in these environments can compromise the safety and effectiveness of the products being manufactured. Air testing is vital to ensure that the cleanroom maintains the necessary cleanliness levels defined by ISO 14644.
Biotechnology Labs
Biotechnology labs often conduct experiments involving living organisms, delicate cell cultures, or high-value research projects. In these environments, airborne particles, microbes, or chemicals could interfere with experiments or contaminate samples. By regularly testing air quality, laboratories can maintain sterile conditions that are essential for reproducible and reliable results.
Hospital Operating Rooms
Operating rooms in hospitals must maintain an exceptionally clean and sterile environment to protect patients from infections during surgery. The presence of airborne contaminants, such as dust or bacteria, can increase the risk of surgical site infections (SSIs) and compromise patient outcomes. Air testing in operating rooms ensures that these areas remain within the stringent air cleanliness classifications required for aseptic procedures.
Electronics Manufacturing Areas
Electronics manufacturing facilities require controlled environments to produce components like semiconductors, circuit boards, and other precision products. Dust, dirt, or static charge can cause irreparable damage to these sensitive components, leading to product defects or performance issues. Air testing ensures that airborne particulates are within acceptable limits, preventing contamination that could compromise the quality and functionality of the products being produced.
Plant Rooms
Plant rooms typically house the machinery and equipment that support a facility’s mechanical and electrical operations, such as HVAC systems, generators, and pumps. Contaminants in the air, such as dust or particles, can affect the performance of these systems, causing equipment malfunction, clogging, or even failure. Regular air testing in plant rooms ensures that the environment remains free of contaminants that could affect the equipment’s performance and longevity.
