TSI 3776 Ultrafine Condensation Particle Counter (discontinued)

This product was discontinued at at 31 March 2018.
Recommended replacement: TSI 3756 Ultrafine Condensation Particle Counter (CPC).
The TSI 3776 Ultrafine Condensation Particle Counter (UCPC) is designed primarily for researchers interested in airborne particles smaller than 20 nm. It is a continuous-flow instrument that detects particles down to 2.5 nm. It uses a special sheath-air flow design that improves response to changes in particle concentration and increases counting efficiency for ultrafine particles.

The successor to our 3025A, the 3776 has a higher aerosol flow rate and better flow control. It features extended single particle counting with a continuous, live-time coincidence correction up to 300,000 particles/cm3. It has a butanol-friendly, anti-spill design with water-removal capability. It includes a colour display, built-in data logging and storage capabilities with a removable memory card, and USB and Ethernet connectors. It comes SMPS™-ready, right from the factory, and it includes our Aerosol Instrument Manager® software.
