3 Wavelength Nephelometer
Overview
Aurora 3000 Three wavelength nephelometer
Now with Backscatter capability
|
The Aurora 3000 three wavelength nephelometer is the instrument of choice when analysis is required on a number of different contributors to air pollution or for studies regarding radiative forcing using backscatter. |
 |
Using an innovative LED light source, the Aurora 3000 simultaneously measures at 525nm (green), 450nm (blue) and 635nm (red) to enable wide and in-depth analysis of particulate matter. The Aurora 3000 includes backscatter measurement in the standard unit. Backscatter measurement allows the measurement of light scattered back towards the light source (90-170°) after colliding with particulate matter.
Features
- New high powered LED light source increasing accuracy and reliability (red 635nm, blue 450nm and green 525nm)
- 3 year warranty on light source, guaranteed not to fail
- Compact and portable (light weight)
- Reduced power consumption and a lower carbon footprint due to:
- Low powered internal heater
- New 12v power source (15 watts without heater, 60 watts with heater)
- Automated instrument calibration using zero and span gas
- Pressure and temperature reporting
