Particle Separation and Analytical Methods
Our services include specialized methods for determining particle separation and classification:

• Aerodynamic Particle Sizing: Determining particle size and distribution based on aerodynamic properties, e.g., using APS from TSI.
• Optical Particle Counting / Geometric: Counting and sizing particles using optical methods, e.g., with OPS from TSI.
• Condensation Particle Counting and Particle Classification: Determining the number and size of ultrafine particles using condensation particle counting – Electromobility diameter, e.g., with SMPS from TSI.
• Use of Various Test Substances: We use a wide range of test substances such as ISO 12103-1 test dust, DEHS, NaCl, KCl, JIS dusts, ASHRAE dust, and even pollen to ensure that your filters are tested under realistic conditions.
