The UCB Particle Monitor is a small, portable, battery-operated (9 volt), datalogging particle monitor for use in indoor environments. It uses a photoelectric (light-scattering) detector and is capable of measuring PM2.5 concentrations down to 25 ug/m3. The UCB Particle Monitor is launched and downloaded from a computer using software which was also developed by the Kirk Smith Research Group at the University of California-Berkeley.
Item Part #  Price
UCB Particle Monitor (with User Manual) UCB-photo $500.00
Software for UCB PM (on CD)* UCB-PM-2.3 $99.00
* Note: the UCB Particle Monitor software is free with the purchase of 10 or more monitors.
A technical FAQ section about the UCB Particle Monitor will be available on our website soon.
