DMT - Model WIBS-5/NEO -Wideband Integrated Bioaerosol Sensor

High Sensitivity

Measure trace amounts of mold and other bioaerosols in the atmosphere.

Precise measurement technology

Get an instrument optimized for detection of bioaerosols, tryptophan, and NADH using two excitation wavelengths and two emission bands.

Particle-by-particle data

Get specific data for particles from 0.5 to 30 µm, as well as particle time-of-flight to detect coincidence; configurable to measure larger particles such as pollens and fungal spores.

Advanced data filtering

Enables selection of filter criteria for both full and partial measurements. Filter data using a wide variety of criteria: particle size, asymmetry, and concentration; fluorescent excitation and emission; or ratios of any of these parameters.

Graphical user-interface details

Measure particles in real time and see housekeeping parameters to monitor instrument health and enhance operational uptime.

Research versatility

Get more flexibility for your different research applications. Collect measurements and data on the ground or in the air.

Two software packages are available for the WIBS-5: the standard software system and the WIBS Data Analysis Toolkit.

Standard Software

The WIBS-5/NEO graphical user interface features several components. The main window shown below details measured particles in real time and gives information on several housekeeping parameters.

WIBS Data Analysis Toolkit

The WIBS toolkit allows for loading, processing, and inspection of data generated by the WIBS-5/NEO. The toolkit’s functionality includes the following:

• Loading single and multiple raw data files containing particle-by-particle fluorescence, size, asymmetry factor, and other data
• Converting particle-by-particle data into time-resolved particle concentrations and size distributions
• Basic plotting capability

The toolkit window is shown here.

• Cloud Physics Research
• Human Health
• Pollution Characterization

• Maximum Concentration: 466 particles/cm3 for fluorescent particle counting (10% coincidence)
• 9,500 particles/cm3 for sizing and counting (10% coincidence)
• Flourescence Excitation: 280 nm, 370 nm
• Flourescence Emission: 310-400 nm, 420-650 nm
• Flow Rate: Sample: 0.3 L/min
• Particle Size Range: 0.5 to 30 µm
• Sheath: 2.1 L/min
• Power Reqiurements: 100W, 90-230 VAC or 24 VDC at 3.0A
• Weight: 27.5 lbs
• Dimensions: 17.75″W x 14.25″L x 9.5″H (add 2″ for inlet at top)

The Lifecycle Care Program ensures WIBS-5/NEO integrity and performance vital to your research mission for 3 years or 3 calls (whichever comes first). When conducting complex and time intensive laboratory or field measurements it is critical to avoid down time, and ensure data collection accuracy. The program consists of 3 key deliverables for each year or call:

• Instrument Logistics
• Instrument Integrity
• Instrument Performance

Lifecycle Care Program Includes:

LOGISTICS

• Shipping to and from Droplet Measurement Technologies facility
• Customs handling, including CARNET ATA if required

INTEGRITY

• Incoming instrument evaluation and health check

PERFORMANCE

• Software and firmware validation
• 100%-unit functionality test
• Calibration data
• Calibration report
• Certificate of calibration

At times, our technician might discover an instrument issue, which might not be covered by the Lifecycle Care Program or by our product warranty. In such case we will reach out to you with a service & repair estimate to allow you to provide us with the next steps of action.
