Particles Plus 8303 portable particle counter-3 channels
The Particles Plus 8303 portable particle counter measures particles from 0.3 μm to 25.0 μm in diameter with a flow rate of 0.1 CFM (2.83 LPM).
The Particles Plus 8303 - 3 channels is an advanced handheld particle counter that combines precise measurements with a patented power management system for an extra-long battery life during intensive use in controlled environments. Thanks to the large data buffer and the intuitive colour touchscreen, this instrument is designed for professionals who require reliable data acquisition and direct on-site reporting.
Precise monitoring and compliance
This instrument simultaneously measures particles on three user-configurable channels, ranging from 0.3 µm to 25.0 µm. The Particles Plus 8303 supports both a particle count mode and a mass concentration mode (µg/m³), making it widely applicable for air quality research and cleanroom validation. Users can directly generate reports according to ISO 14644-1, EU GMP Annex 1, or FS 209E standards. The laser diode technology guarantees a long service life, while the internal pump with automatic flow control ensures a constant sample volume of 2.83 LPM.
