Particle Counter Installation Considerations For Continuous Monitoring

When specifying particle counters for continuous monitoring applications, such as pharmaceutical aseptic manufacturing processes, there are many system design decisions to be made. These will include instrument location and how to get services such as vacuum and communication cabling to that location, as well as protecting the unit from regular cleaning activities and considering easy access to perform ongoing calibration and maintenance.

In instances where installing an external vacuum source and vacuum tubing system is impractical or undesirable, it is an advantage to have an option to install a particle counter with an integrated vacuum source, such as the  AeroTrak® Remote Particle Counters with Integrated Pump, close to a critical work location.
