[labnetwork] Particle Counter Rentals

[Kuhn, Jeffrey G]

Good Day All,

This may be a bit of a stretch, but I am interested in renting a remote airborne particle counter system to use for a short time in our cleanroom. The goals are to provide proof of concept for this type of air monitoring system, and to assist with validation of new clean lab space that was recently constructed.

The ideal system would have several (in this case four) discreet particle counters located throughout the cleanroom area, each sending data to a central facility management system via RS-485, Ethernet, etc. This type of system is preferable to the older method of using a manifold to sequence between the different measuring points because it eliminates the errors introduced when particles travel through tubing between the manifold and the counter.

There are several vendors who rent portable particle counters for measuring a single location, but I've had no luck in locating anyone who will rent one of these newer configurations. If anyone knows of a company who does, I would be very grateful to learn who they are.

Thanks in advance,
