A Particle Generator is a highly specialized instrument engineered to produce a controlled aerosol—a stable, consistent, and predictable stream of airborne particles. Its core function is to provide precise, user-defined control over the aerosol’s key properties. This includes the exact size of the particles (whether uniform or varied), the concentration (the number of particles per volume of air), and the long-term stability of the particle flow, all managed with high accuracy.
By meticulously managing these variables, the instrument’s primary purpose is to create a known, repeatable, and measurable airborne environment. It effectively serves as a reference standard for air, removing uncertainty from any process. In the world of test and measurement, where unknown variables must be eliminated, the Particle Generator provides a reliable benchmark, allowing for the precise evaluation of how a system or sensor interacts with airborne particulates.
The TSI 8026 Particle Generator produces precisely sized and concentrated particles for controlled research and quality control testing. Ideal for pharmaceutical, electronics, and environmental applications, it features adjustable flow rates and real-time data monitoring to ensure accurate and repeatable experiments.
Key Features
A Particle Generator produces controlled aerosol particles to test the efficiency of air filtration systems and calibrate particle counters, which is crucial for cleanroom validation and air quality studies.
It produces a controlled and stable stream of airborne particles (an aerosol) with precisely known characteristics, such as size and concentration, to create a reliable benchmark for testing.
This instrument is used to test, validate, and calibrate systems where air purity is critical, including HEPA filters, air quality sensors, respirator masks, and cleanrooms.
It typically works by turning a specialized liquid into a fine mist and then using a controlled process to form airborne particles of a specific, desired size and concentration.
This equipment is essential in any industry requiring ultra-clean air, including pharmaceuticals, semiconductor manufacturing, aerospace, healthcare, and filter manufacturing.
While the terms are often used interchangeably, a Particle Generator specifically refers to a high-precision instrument that provides tight control over particle size and concentration, making it ideal for scientific and validation work.
