Airnet sensor is protected from hydrogen peroxide

Published: 12-Feb-2003


The new Airnet 510 XR aerosol particle sensor from Particle Measuring Systems provides all the benefits of a regular Airnet sensor, along with the additional feature of a specially coated sample pathway.

This allows it to be used in an environment where there is exposure to vaporized hydrogen peroxide. Airnet sensors can be combined to form a system for monitoring contaminants continuously at multiple locations within a cleanroom. The 510 XR has a flow rate of 1.0 CFM and features the two particle size channels most critical in monitoring pharmaceutical cleanrooms – 0.5 and 5.0µm. Its specially coated pathway protects the sensitive optical components of the particle counter from many of the potentially corrosive or oxidizing gases used to sterilise pharmaceutical cleanrooms. These compact sensors are manufactured out of a tough, nonshedding material and make use of an external vacuum source instead of an internal pump. Airnet sensors are versatile in design and can be mounted on a wall or a level work surface. Built-in status indicators display power, laser and flow activity. Data collected by the Airnet sensors can be transmitted in several ways. There is an Ethernet connection that allows particulate information to be sent directly on the network to a workstation for real-time analysis. A facility monitoring software package, Pharmaceutical Net, can provide a comprehensive account of the environmental conditions within a cleanroom environment. PMS claims to be one of the leading companies in contamination monitoring, "combining high-performance instrumentation with application expertise to solve the problems of pharmaceutical, semiconductor and disk drive manufacturers, as well as general cleanroom applications".
