High Volume/Low Volume Particulate Matter Sampler

Increased urbanisation has accelerated the concentration of Particulate Matter (PM) in the environment, leading to adverse health effects for populations. The Ecotech (Acoem) particulate samplers perform remote unattended sampling of PM across urban air quality monitoring networks. The samplers incorporate advanced programming functions and electronic volumetric flow control to maintain a consistent flow and collect a truly representative sample of particulate matter.

The HiVol 3000 High Volume Air Sampler provides high quality and reliable sampling of PM₁₀, PM_2.5 and TSP (Total Suspended Particulate) with immediate notifications of errors providing high confidence in results and low data loss. It provides a flexible platform for remote unattended sampling of particulate matter and measurement of basic meteorological parameters. Microprocessor controlled internal data logging for storage of flow and meteorological parameters information. It is a proven, reliable and durable sampler.

The PUF sampler is designed to sample a wider variety of organic compounds and store them in a sterile environment for later analysis. The PUF sampler that combines the sampling with basic meteorological parameters can be used for fence-line sampling of a specific area.

The HiVol 3000 XAD sampler provides high quality and reliable sampling of organic compounds on a Hydrophobic Polyaromatic (XAD) resin.

The HiVol 3000 MegaVol Ultra-High Volume Air Sampler is an ultra-high volume dust sampler designed to sample dust, specifically heavy metals such as lead (Pb) and radioactive particulates/dust. The MegaVol has a very high sampling flow rate of 120-150 m³/hr which allows it to sample a larger sample of air than a standard unit, and accumulate pollutants that make up a small percentage of pollution. This accumulated sample with sufficient masses provides laboratories to perform quantitative and qualitative analysis and allows either increased sampling periods (more per week) or greater accuracy in measurements, especially for trace levels.

The MicroVol 1100 is designed for monitoring both indoor and outdoor air quality. It is a low power and low noise instrument that can sample particulates in residential or workplaces whilst using minimal power and causing minimal distraction. The MicroVol 1100 features internal data logging of temperature, barometric pressure and sampled air volume. Data from optional tipping bucket rain gauge or wind speed/direction sensors can also be collected and stored.
