TSI - Model 3750-CEN - Condensation Particle Counter
From Environmental Particle Counters
As a first step in harmonizing the measurement of ultrafine particles (UFPs) in the atmosphere, the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) created the Technical Specification CEN/TS 16976. This standard defines a set of requirements for the Condensation Particle Counter (CPC). The CPC Model 3750-CEN is fully compliant with these technical specifications.
The new model builds on a multi-generation lineage of TSI full-flow CPCs, which have served as the gold standard in nanoparticle counting for several decades. The new updates extend the concentration range, provide an intuitive direct-touch user interface, new software, and secure internal data storage for months of data.
The 3750-CEN is now fully integrated into the Scanning Mobility Particle Sizer (SMPS) family. The SMPS model 3938W50-CEN enables ambient air monitoring stations to measure size distributions of ultrafine particles in compliance with CEN/TS 17434:2020.
