ELPI®+

The ELPI®+(Electrical Low Pressure Impactor) is an improved version of the widely used ELPI® system. This instrument enables the measurement of real-time particle size distribution and concentration in the size range of 6 nm – 10 μm, with up to a 10 Hz sampling rate.  The ELPI®+ can also be used for real-time particle charge distribution and for gravimetric impactor measurements.  Chemical analysis of the size-classified particles may also be conducted post-measurement.  

Benefits of the ELPI®+ system include:

  • Real-time stand-alone operation
  • Wide sample concentration range 
  • Wide particle size range
  • The ability for post-measurement chemical analysis of size classified particles  
  • Real-time particle charge distribution and gravimetric measurements
