Product Details
Condensation Particle Counter 3775 is a general-purpose counter that detects airborne particles down to 4 nm. It provides highly accurate measurements over a wide concentration range from 0 to 107 particles/cm3. As a result, this CPC is quite versatile and well-suited for a broad range of applications.
The successor to the Model 3022A, the Model 3775 features extended single particle counting with continuous, live-time coincidence correction for concentrations up to 50,000 particles/cm3. A photometric mode takes over at higher concentrations. The 3775 also features an improved transition between the two count modes. It has a color VGA display, anti-spill design, water-removal capability, data logging and storage capabilities with a removable memory card, and USB and Ethernet ports. It includes built-in SMPS™ compatibility and our Aerosol Instrument Manager® software.

FAQs
Can the CPC be operated with different carrier gases?
Yes, but only inert gases.
Is the counting efficiency for each CPC determined individually?
No. The CPC efficiency curve has been determined by testing a statistically valid number of CPCs and averaging the results to obtain the curve published in the product literature. Variation between units is very small.
What is the final droplet size after growth by condensation?
This question has been investigated, theoretically, by Ahn and Liu (1990). For the initial particle diameters of 5 and 20 nm, the computation results show a final droplet size of 11.3 and 12.3 micrometers, respectively (Ahn and Liu, 1990). Similar experimental results have also been determined.
