NanoScan SMPS Nanoparticle Sizer 3910
The NanoScan SMPS™ Nanoparticle Sizer 3910 is a portable, real-time particle sizer that delivers SMPS™-level performance in a lightweight, battery-powered package. Capable of measuring nanoparticles from 10 to 420 nm, it’s ideal for mobile field studies, workplace exposure monitoring, indoor/outdoor air quality investigations, and point source identification.
With a compact design, hot-swappable batteries, built-in data logging, and intuitive operation, the 3910 empowers researchers, students, and industrial hygienists to collect high-quality aerosol data anywhere — even in hard-to-reach or sensitive environments. Pair it with the OPS 3330 to extend your measurement range up to 10 µm.
