Handheld Particle Counter for Cleanroom and Airborne Particle Monitoring
The TSI AeroTrak 9306 Handheld Particle Counter provides portable airborne particle measurement with a particle size range of 0.3 to 25 µm, a flow rate of 0.1 CFM (2.83 L/min) and up to six simultaneous measurement channels.
Designed for particle contamination monitoring, cleanroom classification and indoor air quality investigations, the AeroTrak 9306 combines a portable design with configurable measurement functions, data storage and reporting capabilities. Its integrated handle and thumb controls allow convenient one-handed operation, while the 3.6-inch (9.1 cm) colour touchscreen provides an interface for instrument configuration and measurement review.
Airborne Particle Measurement and Cleanroom Monitoring
The AeroTrak 9306 measures airborne particles across a size range of 0.3 to 25 µm, with a sampling flow rate of 0.1 CFM (2.83 L/min) and a specified flow accuracy of ±5%.
The instrument can measure up to six particle size channels simultaneously. The AeroTrak 9306-V2 configuration also provides a variable binning option for applications requiring configurable particle size channels.
A mass concentration measurement option is available, with a user-configurable density parameter.
Particle Counting Standards and Calibration
The AeroTrak 9306 is specified as complying with ISO 21501-4 requirements. According to the original product information, the instrument is calibrated using NIST-traceable polystyrene latex (PSL) spheres with TSI classifier and condensation particle counting equipment.
The instrument supports Pass/Fail reporting for ISO 14644-1, EU GMP Annex 1 and FS209E, providing reporting functions for applicable particle monitoring and cleanroom assessment procedures.
Data Integrity and Reporting Functions
The AeroTrak 9306 can operate in Data Integrity Mode to support enhanced data integrity. When used with TSI TrakPro Lite Secure Software, this mode is designed according to ALCOA+ principles for applications with demanding GMP data management requirements.
Measurement results can be viewed directly on the instrument display, downloaded through TrakPro Lite Secure Software or printed using an optional external printer.
Multiple instrument configurations can be stored and uploaded using TrakPro Lite Secure, which is identified in the original product information as supplied software. The particle counter is also compatible with FMS 5 software.
