Portable Particle Counters Speed, Simplify Sampling
Hach Ultra has introduced the Met One 3400 Series of Portable Airborne Particle Counters for faster sampling, ease of use and reduced technician time. Available in two flow rates, 50 L/min or 28.3 L/min, and a sensitivity range of 0.3 to 25 microns, the 3400 offers flexibility for QA/QC and technical managers to verify critical processes and environments, including clean rooms. The 3400 Series also contains Long Life Laser technology for low cost long-term ownership, extending the instrument’s average laser life to more than 10 years.Lightweight and compact, the 3400 features strategically-placed handles for easy lifting: two on the sides and one on the front. The 3400 easily relocates to various sampling sites for data collection throughout a facility. A versatile form factor enables both horizontal and vertical orientations of the instrument. Most importantly, dual hot-swappable batteries minimize downtime for seamless operation.For data entry and management, the 3400’s color touch-screen facilitates viewing from a greater distance in different lighting and at different angles. An intuitive, icon-driven operating system with touch commands simplifies the count collecting process. Data transfers quickly from USB ports onto a PC or flash drive, or print results immediately from the built-in printer. The counter also interfaces with PortAll Version 2 for remote scheduling and data download.For life science environments, the 3400’s stainless steel construction and unobstructed surface permit quick and frequent wipe-downs. With PortAll Version 2 Life Sciences Version, the 3400 provides the necessary regulatory documentation for 21 CFR Part 11 compliance, minimizing downtime and lost product batches.
