New Aurora Family of Nephelometers from Ecotech Promise Increased Accuracy and Lower Cost of Ownership
Feb 29 2008
Comprising a choice of either single wavelength or a 3 wavelength instrument, the Aurora family delivers increased accuracy in studying particulates and their source of origin, making the Aurora the ideal choice of instrument for visibility predictions, research into global warming or the study of environmental pollutants and their impact on human health.
Aurora 1000
The Aurora 1000 would be ideal when feedback is required only on a particular type of particle e.g. someone studying small particles from industry, traffic or inner city pollution would require the blue wavelength, while someone purely interested in visibility studies would use the green wavelength.
Aurora 3000
The Aurora 3000 would be the instrument of choice where there are a number of contributors to air pollution.
The 3 wavelengths respond simultaneously to different particulates in the ambient sample enabling the Aurora 3000 to provide further insight into the nature and chemical composition of particulate matter by source groups.
For example the blue wavelength will react strongly to fine and ultrafine particles (e.g. woodfire, automobile), green wavelength will react strongest to visible pollution (smog) and red wavelength will react strongest to large particulate matter (e.g. pollen or marine influence).
The Aurora 3000, also has wide applications for use in climate change studies making it a well suited instrument for research organizations as the data collected can be used as input into climate change modeling
