The Thermo Scientific™ Personal DataRAM pDR-1500 Portable Monitor is a fully integrated, high-precision, real-time piece of sampling equipment that offers optimal ease-of-use and enhanced operating time.
The pDR-1500 has the capability and versatility to offer real-time findings and gravimetric validation for a variety of applications, including site remediation monitoring, health impacts studies, and construction/demolition projects. At 41 ounces, it is just as convenient to wear on the belt as it is to run in a fixed position.
The pDR-1500 is equipped to compensate for all usual environmental factors, including relative humidity, real volumetric flow, pressure compensation, and historical pDR nephelometry technology. The pDR-1500 aerosol monitor additionally has replaceable cyclones for improved particle-cut points (PM10 & PM4 or PM2.5 & PM1), as well as an integrated sample filter that allows for post-gravimetric validation of all data.
