PMT® 8300
The PMT 8300 Particle Counter is a portable instrument designed for precise airborne particle measurement in the size range of 0.3 to 25.0 μm at a constant flow rate of 1.2 LPM. It features a user-friendly configuration and allows real-time monitoring of up to six user-selectable particle size channels, as well as environmental parameters such as temperature and relative humidity. The device provides comprehensive data display and documentation, with measurement results viewable directly on the screen, printable, or stored on a USB drive. Data can also be monitored in real time or exported to compatible software, facilitating efficient tracking and archival of measurements. The PMT 8300 includes a mass concentration mode, which estimates particle density in μg/m³, enabling detailed analysis of air quality. All PMT particle counters comply with international calibration standards ISO 21501-4 and JIS B9921, ensuring high accuracy and reliability. Equipped with an integrated pulse height analyzer and offering remote operation and monitoring via a web browser, the PMT 8300 provides a flexible solution for particle measurement and monitoring in demanding environments such as cleanrooms, laboratories, and industrial facilities. With its combination of precision, real-time environmental monitoring, and versatile data management, the PMT 8300 Particle Counter delivers accurate and reliable airborne particle measurement for critical applications requiring continuous oversight of air quality.
