PCE Particle Counter Air Sampler - MPC 10

PCE  Particle Counter Air Sampler - MPC 10

The PCE MPC 10 Particle Counter Air Sampler is a portable device designed to monitor particulate matter (PM) concentrations in the air. Ideal for indoor air quality (IAQ) assessments, it also measures air temperature and relative humidity (RH). Powered by either a rechargeable battery or USB port, the USB port is also used for charging the battery. The device continues to take measurements while charging, ensuring uninterrupted IAQ monitoring. Featuring an integrated data logger, it offers adjustable sampling times of 30 seconds, 1 minute, 2 minutes, or 5 minutes, and can store up to 5,000 date-and-time-stamped data sets in its internal memory.

The particle counter displays all measurements simultaneously on the device's 2" full-color LCD screen. Temperature units can be shown in either degrees Celsius (°C) or Fahrenheit (°F). A scale below the measured values provides a visual warning via a band of colors increasing from green (safe) to violet (extreme danger). This visual color-coding system makes it easy to recognize when PM concentration levels become dangerous, allowing for quick action.

When inhaled, PM 2.5 and PM 10 particles can settle deep into the lungs and result in damaging health effects. Since the PCE-MPC 10 particle counter monitors PM 2.5 and PM 10 particles, the device has many practical health and safety applications. Heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) technicians use PM 2.5 and PM 10 particle counters for HVAC system performance and filtration audits. In addition, industrial hygienists and workplace safety professionals rely on PM 2.5 and PM 10 particle counters when evaluating occupational health and safety risks related to hazardous and combustible dust.
