Scanning mobility particle sizer

A scanning mobility particle sizer (SMPS) is an analytical instrument that measures the size and number concentration of aerosol particles with diameters from 2.5 nm to 1000 nm.^[1] They employ a continuous, fast-scanning technique to provide high-resolution measurements.

Applications

The particles that are investigated can be of biological or chemical nature. The instrument can be used for air quality measurement indoors, vehicle exhaust,^[2] research in bioaerosols, atmospheric studies, and toxicology testing.
