Aeroexplorer Sampling Station
The Aeroexplorer Sampling Station is a modular and customizable system for collecting airborne particulates and trace gases for retrospective and source-based air quality analysis. Available in single and dual inlet configurations, it allows for sequential or simultaneous sampling of PM2.5 and PM10 onto filter media. Designed to complement real-time optical measurements from nephelometers, the Aeroexplorer offers a complete monitoring solution. The system supports up to 8 filters, with fully autonomous operation driven by programmable schedules (minutes, hours, or days). Advanced communication ports enable coordination with weather stations or nephelometers for conditional sampling, such as by wind direction. Its trace gas module includes a 4-denuder design and operates on low power, enabling solar or battery-powered deployment in remote or environmentally sensitive locations.
