Description

  • Industry’s highest concentration of 15,000,000 particles/ft3 @ 10% coincidence loss
  • Ideal for use in research, industrial health and safety, indoor air quality, and cleanroom applications
  • Up to 10 hours continuous operation on a fully charged battery
  • Industry’s first Sleep Mode and Power Conservation Mode with Intelligent Battery
  • The most comprehensive internal self-diagnostics of any handheld particle counter
  • Real-Time Meter detects particle contamination sources with visual and audible indication
  • Internet of Things (loT) communication allows for network or cloud-based data options

The Particles Plus® 8303 and 8503 Handheld Particle Counters measure 0.3 to 25.0 μm with a flow rate of 0.1 CFM (2.83 LPM).

Easy to configure, this instrument displays up to 3 user-selectable size channels as well as (optional) temperature and relative humidity. View data and generate ISO 14644-1, EU GMP Annex 1 or FS 209E reports. Export to Particles Plus® data-software. The 8303 also has a mass concentration mode that approximates density in μg/m3.

All Particles Plus® counters meet ISO 21501-4 and JIS B9921. The 8303 and 8503 ensure compliance with an on-board pulse height analyzer.
