Technical Software
Aerodyne produces a wide variety of mass spectrometric instruments to study or monitor particulate matter. These instruments are capable of revealing both chemical composition and particle size. These include research instruments with extremely high mass resolution as well as more affordable monitoring instruments.
Aerodyne sells two types of CIMS instruments. The first is the gas phase version which detects molecular species with extraordinary sensitivity. The second is the MOVI-CI-TOFMS which monitors the chemical composition of particulate matter.
We produce a variety of trace gas monitors that detect gas phase molecules using Tunable Infrared Laser Differential Absorption Spectroscopy (TILDAS) with quantum cascade (QC) lasers. These monitors have fast time response (up to 10 Hz) and extremely high sensitivity. Applications include greenhouse gas monitoring, pollution monitoring and isotopic monitoring.
Aerodyne offers three instruments based on the principle of Cavity Attenuation Phase Shift (CAPS) detection. These instruments provide state-of-the-art sensitivity at low cost.are low cost. The CAPS NO2 monitor provides sub-100 parts-per-trillion precision in 10 s. The CAPS PMex and PMSSA monitors measure particle optical properties.
