Measures mass loading and chemical composition of non-refractory aerosol particles in real-time. ACSM instruments use the same technology as our AMS series. Smaller, lower cost, more robust, and simpler to operate than our AMS instruments, the ACSM is designed for long-term unattended deployment and routine monitoring applications. There are three ACSM models available: quadrupole, time-of-flight, or time-of-flight with eXtended resolution. ACSM can be configured for either a PM 1 or a PM 2.5 lens, as well as a standard or a capture vaporizer. Each model provides mass concentrations of organics, sulfate, nitrate, chloride and ammonium with different limits of detection and time responses.
