Water-Based SMPS 3938W89 Wide-Range Particle Sizer
The TSI SMPS™ 3938W89 is a state-of-the-art particle sizer designed for continuous monitoring of ultrafine particles in ambient air. With an extended measurement range from 10 nm to 800 nm in a single scan—thanks to the advanced DMA 3083 (based on the TROPOS Vienna design)—this instrument delivers reliable, high-quality data for atmospheric research and regulatory air quality monitoring. Its water-based Condensation Particle Counter (CPC) operates on distilled water, eliminating the need for volatile organics, and the system is designed for 24/7/365 operation. Optional advanced software features include particle loss correction, extended auto-export of data, and power-outage recovery mode, ensuring seamless integration into monitoring networks.
