Precision Aerosol &
Particulate Instrumentation for Advanced Research

The exclusive North American sales, service, and technical support partner for world-leading measurement technologies.

Blue Line

Specialized Aerosol Measurement for Demanding Environments

For over 20 years, Particle Instruments has supplied North America’s leading research universities, national laboratories, and industrial testing facilities with advanced aerosol instrumentation.

​

We don't offer generic off-the-shelf sensors. We specialize in solve-for-x measurement challenges—providing real-time, high-precision instrumentation built for extreme temperatures, high pressures, and complex particle size distributions.

Featured Solution:

Real-Time Particle Sizing at Temperature

Dekati® ELPI+

The ELPI+ is a unique, industry-standard instrument capable of measuring real-time aerosol particle size distribution and concentration in the range of 6 nm to 10 µm. Designed for harsh sampling conditions, it provides instantaneous data collection across 500 Hz resolution—ideal for combustion, engine emissions, and high-temperature research.

Key Features / Specs

  • Measurement Range: 0.006 – 10 µm

  • Real-Time Sampling: Up to 10 Hz (High-speed ELPI+ up to 500 Hz)

  • Thermal Range: Sample directly from high-temperature aerosol sources

  • Application Focus: Exhaust, combustion, aerosol research, and industrial testing

Portable air quality monitor with particle analysis graph.

Topas ATM 228

Atomizer Aerosol Generator ATM 228 for aerosol generation from liquids for mobile use, integrated compressor, pneumitic-controlled, remote controllable

Key Features / Specs
  • stable aerosol generation even at lowest particle production rates

  • safe and reproducible adjustment of operating points

  • suitable for mobile operation (internal compressor, optional battery operation mode)

  • remote control via serial interface (optional)

Pegasor Airam

Pegasor Airam is a standalone ultrafine particle monitor designed for ambient and outdoor air quality monitoring. The system provides real-time measurements of particle number concentration (PN), lung deposited surface area (LDSA), particle mass (PM), and particle size. The Airam goes beyond traditional PM10 and PM2.5 measurements, aligning with the new European Union Ambient Air Quality Directive, setting stricter limits on key air pollutants, including ultrafine particles (UFPs)

Key Features / Specs
  • Real-time ultrafine particle monitor for outdoor use

  • PN, LDSA, PM and particle size detection in one system

  • Plug and play design for easy operation

  • Wi-fi, 4G, Ethernet connection with Modbus logger, USB access port

  • Cloud service for remote data monitoring

EarthSense Zephyr

Zephyr® is an MCERTS certified indicative monitor helping organisations identify hotspots, understand trends and build a clearer picture of local air quality.

Key Features / Specs
  • Real-Time Monitoring

  • Flexible, Easy Deployment

  • Network Deployment

  • Integrated Insight

  • Alerts & Notifications
