Thermo Scientifi c PersonalDataRAM pDR-1500 Monitor Active, real-time aerosol monitor/data logger with aerodynamic sizing

The Thermo Scientifi c™ pDR-1500 personal DataRAM was developed to meet the need for a fully integrated, active sampling personal scale instrument with greater accuracy, increased capabilities, low size and weight, maximum ease-of-use and increased operating time.

• True volumetric fl ow controlInterchangeable cyclones for higher

• Accuracy cut points Personal aerosol instrument with benchtop performance

• Full compensation for environmental variables

• Suitable for NIOSH Methods 0500and 0600

The pDR-1500 personal DataRAM is designed for applications such as site remediation, size discrimination, mass validation, exposure modeling, and protection of asthma patients.

The pDR-1500 personal DataRAM accurately measures aerosol concentration in real-time, with relative humidity compensation, true volumetric fl ow control and legacy pDR nephelometry. An integrated sample fi lter enables post-gravimetric validation of data.

Superior particle-cut points compared to those achievable using impactors are delivered through volumetric fl ow control and ACGIH traceable cyclones, available in pairs, for PM10 and PM4 or PM2.5 and PM1. A toroidal entrance assures optimized aerosol aspiration and a representative sample even without a cyclone.
